Investigating the genetic imprint of long body length, high lean meat rate, high fertility and long gestation period in Danish Landrace pigs
Our research deepens the understanding of the breeding history of DLR pigs, preliminarily identifies genes associated with the characteristics of high lean meat percentage, long body length, and high fertility in DLR pigs, and also finds that the high litter size of DLR pigs may be related to gestation length.
