Short summary
Litter traits are key indicators of the reproductive productivity of sows. In the present study, four litter traits (total number born, number born alive, piglets born dead, and litter weight born alive) were explored. Several candidate genes were identified by a genome-wide association study and selective sweep analysis. These findings provide novel insights into the genetic basis of pig litter traits and will be helpful for improving molecular breeding in pigs.
