AI Technical Summary
The lack of SNP molecular markers related to feed conversion efficiency in Ningxiang pigs in existing technologies leads to long research cycles and slow genetic progress in traditional breeding methods, making it difficult to meet the needs of the modern pig industry.
Through genome-wide association analysis, SNP molecular markers SNP1 and SNP2, which are associated with feed conversion efficiency in Ningxiang pigs, were located. Highly specific sequencing and KASP primer pairs were designed for high-throughput detection and genotyping, enabling precise screening and breeding.
It enables accurate prediction and efficient screening of feed conversion efficiency for pigs in Ningxiang, improves breeding efficiency, identifies pig breeds with high feed conversion efficiency, and optimizes the breeding process.
