Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of screening and application of pig molecular markers, and in particular relates to a molecular marker related to boar sperm motility traits and its application. The molecular marker screened in the present invention is cloned from the PRM2 gene. Background technique
[0002] The pig industry plays a pivotal role in my country's agriculture. In 2015, the number of pigs slaughtered nationwide reached 708.25 million heads, ranking first in the number of pigs slaughtered in the world during the same period. my country has become a veritable pig-raising country. Improving the fertility of boars is the key to pig production, and sperm motility is the main manifestation of the fertility of boars. Studies have shown that the sperm motility of breeding boars is extremely significantly correlated with the litter size and live piglets of Large White, Landrace and Duroc sows, and the sperm density is also related to ...
