Abstract

The hypothesis that the number of nipples in the domestic pig is a complex trait consisting of 10 subtraits, each of which is a separate pair of nipples, is discussed. A test in five representative (over 500 individuals) samples of domestic pigs has confirmed the hypothesis. This result allows the hypothesis to be considered a model of phenotypic determination of the number of nipples in domestic pigs.
