Abstract:Background The porcine haemorrhagic bowel syndrome (HBS) is a multifactorial disease causing fatal gastrointestinal disturbances and sudden death in fattening pigs. HBS is the leading cause of deaths during fattening in Swiss pigs, with unclear etiology. Environmental and management factors are associated with HBS incidence, but recent findings also suggest a potential genetic predisposition. Pigs sired by a Swiss Large White (SLW) line appear more prone to HBS. Here we conduct genome-wide association studies … Show more
