Genomic Variants Associated with Haematological Parameters and T Lymphocyte Subpopulations in a Large White and Min Pig Intercross Population.

ABSTRACT: The breeding of disease-resistant pigs has consistently been a topic of significant interest and concern within the pig farming industry. The study of pig blood indicators has the potential to confer economic benefits upon the pig farming industry, whilst simultaneously providing valuable insights that can inform the study of human diseases. In this study, an F2 resource population of 489 individuals was generated through the intercrossing of Large White boars and Min pig sows. A total of 17 haematological parameters and T lymphocyte subpopulations were measured, including white blood cell count (WBC), lymphocyte count (LYM), lymphocyte count percentage (LYM%), monocyte count (MID), monocyte count percentage (MID%), neutrophilic granulocyte count (GRN), percentage of neutrophils (GRN%), me
