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 […]
