AI Technical Summary
Traditional breeding methods are difficult to effectively improve the bust and waist circumference of pigs. These two complex quantitative traits are regulated by multiple genes, resulting in a long time-consuming and minimal effectiveness.
By identifying specific SNP molecular markers (T>G mutation sites) located on pig chromosome 1, this SNP molecular markers are significantly related to the bust and waist traits of pigs, providing identification methods with genotypes TT, TG or GG, thereby achieving genetic improvement in pigs.
By bred pigs with SNP molecular marker genotype GG, the pig breeding process can be accelerated, genetic improvement of pigs can be achieved, and the bust and waist circumference of pigs can be improved, thereby improving pigs' meat production capacity and feed conversion efficiency.
