Placental vascular endothelial growth factor receptor system mRNA expression in pigs selected for placental efficiency

Selecting Yorkshire breeding stock for increased placental efficiency (PE; piglet weight divided by its placental weight) results in larger litters (i.e. ∼3 more piglets litter(−1)) and reduced placental sizes. Placental vessel density increases progressively after day 50 of gestation in the pig, an...
