A genome-wide association study of fetal response to type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus challenge
Download2016-02-05
Plastow, Graham, Ladinig, Andrea, Harding, John, Wang, Zhiquan, Wilkinson, James, Yang, Tianfu
Control of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is economically important for the swine industry worldwide. As current PRRS vaccines do not completely protect against heterologous challenge, alternative means of control, including enhanced genetic resilience, are needed. For...

Bai, Xuechun, Putz, Austin M., Wang, Zhiquan, Fortin, Frederic, Harding, John C. S., Dyck, Michael K., Dekkers, Jack C. M., Field, Catherine J., Plastow, Graham S., PigGen Canada
Disease resilience is a valuable trait to help manage infectious diseases in livestock. It is anticipated that improved disease resilience will sustainably increase production efficiency, as resilient animals maintain their performance in the face of infection. The objective of this study was to...

Serao, Nick V. L., Kemp, Robert A., Mote, Benny E., Willson, Philip, Harding, John C. S., Bishop, Stephen C., Plastow, Graham S., Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Background:Our recent research showed that antibody response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syn-drome (PRRS), measured as sample-to-positive (S/P) ratio, is highly heritable and has a high genetic correlation with reproductive performance during a PRRS outbreak. Two major quantitative...

Of all the meat quality traits, tenderness is considered the most important with regard to eating quality and market value. In this study we have utilised genome wide association studies (GWAS) for peak shear force (PSF) of loin muscle as a measure of tenderness for 1,976 crossbred commercial...
