Abstract
The main goal of this study was to determine the genetic parameters of reproductive traits in a population of Large White pigs, in particular, the birth weight of piglets, weaning weight of piglets, number of live-born and stillborn piglets, and mummified litter. We identified 162 significant SNPs, of which 6 were common for a number of traits. Functional annotation by biological functions (GO) identified 12 significant candidate genes, among which special attention should be paid to the ADCY5 gene, which has previously demonstrated an influence on reproductive abilities in other agricultural animal and poultry species.
