An adverse reaction in pigs to the anaesthetic halothane at approximately 8 weeks of age appears to be controlled by a single recessive gene affecting stress susceptibility, lean content and reproductive performance. In a survey of British nucleus herds, a total of 2998 pigs between 5 weeks of age and 28 kg live weight were given 3-min halothane tests during visits to 17 breeders or companies. There were no positive halothane reactions among 764 Large Whites from 7 herds. The frequency of positive reaction among 1538 Landrace from 14 herds averaged 11 %, with a range from 0 to 23 % in individual herds. Frequencies in other pure breeds or synthetic lines varied from 0 to 88 "/". British and foreign breeds are compared, and the possibility of eliminating the halothane gene is discussed.

“…A number of researchers reported susceptible animals to possess higher levels of serum CPK than stress resistant pigs (Schmidt et al. 1970;Allen and Patterson, 1971;Bickhardt, 1971;Reddy et al, 1971;Eikelenboom et al, 1976;Bulla et al, 1979). Christian (1974) collected blood samples from the ear vein and found that stress susceptible pigs had a significantly greater CPK after stress.…”

This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfihn master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter &ce, while others may be from any type of computer printer.The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction.In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion.Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book.
