Abstract:Background: Sow milk produce ability is an important limiting factor impacting suboptimal growth and survival of piglets. By pig genetic improvement, the litter size has been increased, and larger litters need more suckled mammary glands, that results in increased milk from lactating sow. Hence, it has much significance to explore the sow lactation performance. The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters and screen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for milk produce ability trait in 985 Yorksh… Show more
