Summary: The inheritance of sensitivity to halothane was studied in experimental families of four generations. In a five minutes' halothane test, with evaluation of the signs in animals born from variously combined makings of sensitive pigs (Belgian Landrace) and resistant inbred animals (Canadian Landrace), sensitivity to halothane was found to be inherited as a single‐gene autonomic recessive trait with “high” or complete penetrance, but with variable expressivity .
