Disclosed herein are genetic markers for favorable reproductive traits in animals such as litter size, and weaning weight. Methods for identifying such markers, and methods of screening animals to determine those more likely to produce favorable reproductive traits and preferably selecting those animals for future breeding purposes. The marker is based upon the presence or absence of certain polymorphisms in the pig reproductive gene, retinol binding protein 4.

L'invention concerne des marqueurs génétiques permettant d'améliorer les caractéristiques de reproduction chez les animaux, notamment les naissances à l'accouchement et le poids des animaux sevrés. L'invention concerne aussi des procédés d'identification de ces marqueurs et des procédés de criblage d'animaux permettant de déterminer ceux supposés avoir une reproduction plus favorable et de sélection, de préférence, des animaux à des fins de reproduction future. Le marqueur, la protéine 4 de liaison de rétinol, dépend de la présence ou de l'absence de certains polymorphismes dans le gène de reproduction du cochon.
