    abstract = {The aim of the experiment was to detect polymorphism in the <I>RBP4</I> gene to determine associations between the genotype and litter size in Polish large white x Landrace sows. Reproductive traits investigated were: Total Number of piglets Born (TNB), Number of piglets Born Alive (NBA) and number of piglets weaned (TW). The polymorphism in <I>RBP4 </I>gene was detected using the PCR-RFLP method with specific primers and the restriction enzyme (MspI). Two different alleles were identified: alleles A (0.34) and B (0.66). The relationship between the RBP4 genotypes and TBN, NBA and NW were analyzed. The analysis of <I>RBP4</I> gene showed that sows with BB genotype had the largest litter size compared to AB and BB sows and the difference was statistically significant (p&le;0.01). Analysis of the interaction PARITYxRBP4 showed small and statistically not significant differences.}
