Single‐marker and haplotype‐based genome‐wide association studies for the number of teats in two heavy pig breeds
The number of teats is a reproductive‐related trait of great economic relevance as it affects
the mothering ability of the sows and thus the number of properly weaned piglets. Moreover …
