摘要

Process and kit for screening suu00ecnos, and procedure for determining which allele or alleles at a marker of DNA associated with the OPN gene of suu00ecno is / are associated with (s) with the largest size of litter.Processes for screening pigs to determine which are most likely to produce larger litters and / or those with less produce larger litters probibility of are provided.Based on the identification of alleles of OPN present in a sample of genomic DNA of pigs. Kits for use in such processes are also provided.
