Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation and application of molecular markers for pigs, and in particular relates to the application of molecular markers for pig reproduction-related traits, especially pig birthweight traits. The molecular marker is related to the trait of pig birth weight, and is cloned from the HPSE gene. The invention mainly relates to a new application of the molecular marker. Background technique
[0002] Pig is an important economic animal, as one of the main sources of animal protein for the majority of people in our country. In recent years, people's consumption of pork has been increasing day by day. For pig producers, how to improve production performance and reduce production costs has become the focus of their attention. In the past few decades, breeders have genetically improved many important economic traits of pigs through conventional breeding techniques, and achieved satisfactory results (such as le...
