Genetic Analysis in Pig Production
Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) is an important meat quality trait in pig production. Previously, genetic variants of the heart- and adipocyte-fatty-acid-binding-protein genes were suggested to be associated with IMF content. Objective of this investigation is to study these associations in three important Austrian breeding populations Piétrain, Large White and Landrace. The data will be analyzed with the Statistical Analysis System by the use of general linear model procedure. For parentage control in pigs a DNA microsatellite panel is to be compiled. The system should be qualified for multiplex-PCR amplification and for analysis by automatic sequencing stations. The three important Austrian breeding populations, Large White, Landrace and Piétrain will be investigated. By suitable selection of markers the system should result in a combined exclusion probability of >99%.
