Selecting animals for desired genotypic or potential phenotypic properties
a genotypic or potential phenotypic technology, applied in the field of methods of selecting animals, can solve the problems of negative genetic correlation between reproductive capacity and production traits, and is ever considered feasible to employ this elusive genetic characteristic, and achieve the effects of reducing back fat, enhancing teat number, and increasing muscle mass

The Mutation has an Effect on Teat Number
[0090] Sires of two commercial lines were genotyped for the mutation. Shortly after birth, the number of teats was counted in all piglets. Piglet counts ranged from 12 to 18 teats and included 4477 individuals from 22 sires. A statistical analysis of teat number in piglets was performed by accounting for the following effects: 1) genetic line (lines A and B), 2) genotype of the sire for the mutation (QQ, Qq or qq) and 3) sex of the piglet (male / female). Analysis of variance was performed using Proc Mixed (SAS), assuming normality of dependent variable teat number. Estimates of some contrasts are given in Table 4.
[0091] The effect of genotype on teat number in piglets is −0.28 teats. This effect is opposite to the one described by Hirooka et al. 2001. An effect of genetic line could not be demonstrated. The sex of the piglet had a significant effect on teat number with female pigs having an average of 0.05 teat more than males. Mean values p...
