Developmental Stage-Specific Imprinting of IPL in Domestic Pigs (Sus scrofa)
Imprinted in placenta and liver (IPL) gene has been identified as an imprinted gene in the mouse and human. Its sequence and imprinting status, however, have not been determined in the domestic pigs. In the present study, a 259 base pair-specific sequence for IPL gene of the domestic pig was obtained and a novel SNP, a T/C transition, was identified in IPL exon 1. The C allele of this polymorph...
متن کاملEffects of diverse developmental environments on neuronal morphology in domestic pigs (Sus scrofa).
Potential effects of environmental rearing conditions on the brains of farm animals have not been examined experimentally, with the exception of one report for pig somatosensory cortex. The goal of the present experiment was to determine whether different developmental environments in use in agricultural production units affect neuronal morphology in the pig cerebral cortex. Littermate female p...

متن کاملThe spatial ecology of free-ranging domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) in western Kenya
BACKGROUND In many parts of the developing world, pigs are kept under low-input systems where they roam freely to scavenge food. These systems allow poor farmers the opportunity to enter into livestock keeping without large capital investments. This, combined with a growing demand for pork, especially in urban areas, has led to an increase in the number of small-holder farmers keeping free rang...
متن کاملThe effect of age on the morphometric sperm traits of domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica).
The experiment was conducted using 20 male domestic pigs, which were in 2 (equal-sized) age groups: under 14 months old and over 18 months old. At least 5 ejaculates from each male were taken, and in each ejaculate, morphometric measurements of 50 spermatozoa were made. The measured parameters were head area, head length and width, and flagellum length. For each ejaculate, the basic physical tr...
