Abstract
Five new cases of reciprocal translocation in the domestic pig are des cribed. Three of them, rcp(3;5)(p1.3;q2.3), rcp(6;13)(p1.5:q4.1) and r cp(13;17)(q4.1;q1.1) were found in boars with decreased litter size. T he remaining two were identified in animals karyotyped before reproduc tion: a young boar, rcp(4;6)(q2.1;q2.8), and a gilt, rcp(2;14)(q1.3;q2 .7). A parental origin by inheritance of the translocations was establ ished in cases 1, 4, and 5. A decrease in prolificacy of 43 % and 34 % was estimated in cases 1 and 3, respectively.
