Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pig genetic breeding and molecular marker-assisted selection, and specifically relates to the screening and application of pig general disease resistance genetic markers. Background technique
[0002] With the popularization of intensive feeding and management methods, in the production of pig industry, the hazards of diseases can easily bring heavy losses to animal husbandry production. In the United States, swine diseases cost more than $1.5 billion annually. This huge economic loss is mainly due to pig deaths, reduced production efficiency, increased medical expenses, and product losses. Under stressful production conditions, selective pressure on economically important traits can also lead to increased disease incidence. Diseases can reduce the efficiency of selection and affect the genetic improvement of production traits. At present, the control measures for livestock and poultry diseases mainly ...
