Greater milk yield is related to increased DNA and RNA content but not to mRNA abundance of selected genes in sow mammary tissue;Une production laitiére accrue est reliée ádes concentrations supérieures d'ADN et d'ARN mais pas à l'abondance de l'ARNm de génes cibles dans les glandes mammaires de truies
