Genetic and genomic characterization of vulva size traits in Yorkshire and Landrace gilts

Abstract Background Reproductive performance is critical for efficient swine production. Recent results indicated that vulva size (VS) may be predictive of reproductive performance in sows. Study objectives were to estimate genetic parameters, identify genomic regions associated, and estimate genomi...
