Comparison of growth performance between F0 transgenic boars produced by piggyBac based pmGENIE-3 transposition and their wild-type littermate boars.

Growth performance Transgenic boars (TG7 and TG8) Wild-type boars (n=4, Mean±SEM)
ADG (kg) 0.720 and 0.783 0.778±0.024
FCE (kg/kg) 3.159 and 2.468 2.702±0.213

The four wild-type Duroc boars that are used as controls were produced in our previous study (Li et al. 2014), they are littermates of TG7 and TG8, and should have similar genetic background with TG7 and TG8. Wild-type boars, TG7 and TG8 boars were raised under the same condition in the same pig farm. ADG=average daily gain (kg), FCE=feed conversion efficiency (kg of feed intake/kg of body weight increment). Two group’s values on the same row are not statistically (P>0.05) different from each other.
