Association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms within candidate genes and fertility in Landrace and Duroc pigs

Abstract Finding effective predictors of traits related to boar fertility is essential for increasing the efficiency of artificial insemination systems in pig breeding. The objective of this study was to find associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within candidate genes and fert...
