The objective of this work was to map QTL on porcine chromosome 4 and associate them to performance traits. For this, a F2 pig population was established from a cross from the F1 generation, produced by crossing two naturalized Brazilian Piau sires and 18 commercial dams (Landrace × Large White × Piétrain). The population was genotyped for five microsatellite markers. The performance of traits evaluated in the population were: teat number, birth weight, weight at 21, 42, 63, 77 and […]

This study investigated the association between IGF-I microsatellite marker in an F2 population (N=459) generated by mating of native boars to Brazilian commercial sows with performance, carcass cut, and meat quality traits. Association analyses were carried out using a statistical model that included genotype, sex, and group as fixed effects and sire as random effect. The IGF-I genotypes were significantly associated with different quantitative traits and these results corroborate with previous QTL analyses obtained for this chromosome region in swine. […]

A total of the 550 F2 animals produced by divergent cross using two sires of the native Brazilian breed named Piau and 18 commercial dams were genotyped for 13 microsatellite markers in swine chromosome 6. The traits evaluated were: carcass length by the Brazilian carcass classification method, carcass length by the American carcass classification method, carcass weight, carcass yield, higher backfat thickness at last 2nd-3rd thoracic vertebrae, backfat thickness after last rib, backfat thickness between last 1st-2nd lumbar vertebrae, lower […]
