Abstract
- A considerable number of fatness QTL have been identified in growing pigs, but there is a lack of knowledge about the genetic architecture of this trait in gilts and sows. We have performed a genome scan, in 255 Iberian × Meishan F2 sows, for backfat thickness (BF) at 150 (BF150) and 210 (BF210) days of age, 30 days after conception (BF30) and 7–10 days before farrowing (BFbf). We have found one BF150 QTL in SSC6 (120 cM) that was highly significant (P<br />Financial support was provided by Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia, Spain (Grant AGL2004-08368-C03/GAN).
