  • Title: [The reproductive performance of sows with different malignant hyperthermia syndrome status].
    Author: Reiner G, Hecht W, Herzog A, Dzapo V.
    Journal: Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 1993 Apr; 100(4):144-6. PubMed ID: 8486090.
    Abstract:
    Based on 200 litters descending from 50 sows relations between MHS-genotype and reproductivity were investigated. Breeds used were "Deutsches Edelschwein", German Landrace and a crossbred line. Evaluation of MHS-status was done by Polymerase Chain Reaction. Reproductivity traits were piglet numbers at different ages and litter growth. The sows were not preselected in regard to the halothane gene. MHS-negative sows showed increased reproductivity towards MHS-positives and within the negatives, the homozygote sows were superior to the heterozygotes.
