Short summary
Litter size is an important economic factor in pig production. This study was conducted to investigate litter-size-related epigenetic markers in uterine tissue from Berkshire pigs. The zona pellucida binding protein (ZPBP) gene was significantly hypomethylated in the larger litter size groups by DNA profiling analysis, and this gene can be used as a valuable epigenetic biomarker for hyperprolific sows.
