ABSTRACT:
Methods for determining the KIT genotype of pigs are provided. These methods are useful in determining coat colour genotype, breed determination and for screening pigs to determine those likely to produce larger litters, and/or those less likely to produce large litters. Kits for use in such methods are also provided.
