The impact of either a Meishan or Yorkshire uterus on Meishan or Yorkshire fetal and placental development to days 70, 90, and 110 of gestation.

Novel insight into the control of litter size in pigs, using placental efficiency as a selection tool.

Development of Meishan and Yorkshire littermate conceptuses in either a Meishan or Yorkshire uterine environment to day 90 of gestation and to term.

The impacts of uterine environment and fetal genotype on conceptus size and placental vascularity during late gestation in pigs.
