Systemic blood was collected from and surgery performed on sows of 3 strains of miniature swine bred for specific SLA (swine MHC) haplotypes (a, c and d) from Day 2 to Day 6 after mating (first day of mating = Day 0). Ovulation rate was determined by counting corpora lutea and embryos were flushed from the uterus. Progesterone, oestradiol-17.beta. and oestrone were quantitated in blood plasma and uterine flushings by RIA SLAd/d females had a higher ovulation rate than SLAa/a or SLAc/c females (11.cntdot.50 .+-. 0.87 vs 9.cntdot.11 .+-. 0.68 and 8.17 .+-. 0.83, respectively; P < 0.01). Oestrone was higher than oestradiol-17.beta. in systemic plasma (56.5 .+-. 6.4 vs 33.0 .+-. 4.7 pg/ml, P < 0.01) while oestradiol-17.beta. was higher than oestrone in uterine flushings (19.8 .+-. 1.4 vs 14.9 .+-. 1.5 pg/horn, P < 0.10). Systemic progesterone concentration was correlated with day after mating (r = 0.93, P < 0.01). There was no effect on haplotype on any of the hormone concentrations measured. Litter size was analysed from 99 matings amgonst SLAa/a, SLAa/c, SLAa/d, SLAd/c and SLAd/d sires and dams. Litter size from -/d and d/d sows or from d/d boars were larger (P < 0.05) than for all other matings. Although ovulation rate was higher in SLAd/d sows, the significant effect of sire SLA genotype on litter size suggests an additional effect of the d haplotype on embryonic survival.
