Abstract

The additive and dominance effects of ESR gene found in the Czech Large White population were compared with the results of the largest studies involving Large White populations. In all studies a significant additive effectof the ESR gene on sow prolificacy was found. Differently from the other studies, the better prolificacy in Czech Large White was connected with allele A, likely due to different linkage disequillibrium in these populations.
