Abstract
The low number of piglets per litter was the reason why a Finnish Yorkshire breed boar used for artificial insemination (AI) was taken for cytogenetic study. The boar had a reciprocal translocation between autosomes 8 and 10, resulting in a reduction in its litter size of about 19%. In addition the litter sizes were counted from 16 female offspring of this 2n=38,XY; rcp(8;10)(p1.1;q1.3) boar.
