Identification of differentially expressed genes in sexed pig embryos during post-hatching development in primiparous sows exposed to differing intermittent suckling and breeding strategies
Download2016
Chen, Tai Y., Foxcroft, George R., Blanes, Milena, Dyck, Michael K., Athorn, Rebecca, Langendijk, Piete, Tsoi, Stephen
The aim of commercial pig breeding programs is to maximize the number of pigs produced per sow per year. Given that sows exhibit an estrus during lactation is a potential means of increasing productivity of a pig breeding herd without reducing in lactation length, conventionally, weaning of...
