Genetic parameter estimation and genome-wide association study (GWAS) of red blood cell count at three stages in a Duroc×Erhualian pig population

Red blood cells play an essential role in the immune system. Moreover, red blood cell count (RBC) is an important clinical indicator of various diseases, including anemia, type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome.
