Detection of genomic regions affecting thermotolerance traits in growing pigs during acute and chronic heat stress
Measuring direct indicators of responses to heat stress, such as thermoregulatory responses, is essential to detect QTL and propose candidate genes involved in these responses. Multiple QTL for thermoregulatory responses segregate in the Large White breed were detected, paving the way for opportunities to select for heat stress resilience in European pig breeds.
