The effect of swine insurance participation on swine production efficiency: Evidence from China [PDF]

PLoS ONE
How does swine insurance affect the swine production efficiency in China? We focus on micro-survey data from 582 swine farmers in Liaoning Province, and uses the propensity score matching method (PSM) and mediated effects model for the empirical ...

Spatial spillover effects of swine insurance policy on swine production efficiency in China

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
IntroductionIn light of growing resource constraints and global calls for sustainability, the efficiency of swine production has become a strategic concern in China. China’s swine insurance policy serves as a key institutional mechanism for strengthening

Identification and validation of a regulatory mutation upstream of the BMP2 gene associated with carcass length in pigs

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background Carcass length is very important for body size and meat production for swine, thus understanding the genetic mechanisms that underly this trait is of great significance in genetic improvement programs for pigs. Although many quantitative trait

Genomic prediction in pigs using data from a commercial crossbred population: insights from the Duroc x (Landrace x Yorkshire) three-way crossbreeding system

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background Genomic selection is widely applied for genetic improvement in livestock crossbreeding systems to select excellent nucleus purebred (PB) animals and to improve the performance of commercial crossbred (CB) animals.

Revisiting the Evolutionary History of Pigs via De Novo Mutation Rate Estimation in A Three-generation Pedigree

Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2022
The mutation rate used in the previous analyses of pig evolution and demographics was cursory and hence invited potential bias in inferring evolutionary history. Herein, we estimated the de novo mutation rate of pigs as 3.6 × 10−9 per base per generation

A comparative investigation on H3K27ac enhancer activities in the brain and liver tissues between wild boars and domesticated pigs

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Dramatic phenotypic differences between domestic pigs and wild boars (Sus scrofa) provide opportunities to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of complex traits, including morphology, physiology and behaviour. Most studies comparing

Extensive identification of serum metabolites related to microbes in different gut locations and evaluating their associations with porcine fatness

Microbial Biotechnology, 2023
Gut microbiota plays important roles in host metabolism. Whether and how much the gut microbiota in different gut locations contributes to the variations of host serum metabolites are largely unknown, because it is difficult to obtain microbial samples ...
