  • Method to screen for improved meat characteristics in pigs
    Publication number: 20040101842
    Abstract: There is provided an assay to identify pigs having a genetic predisposition to musculature with improved meat quality characteristics. In the assay certain genetic markers which correlate to the meat quality traits of interest are used to determine the allelic variant(s) in the DNA sample under test. Preferred markers are: i) SW413, SW1482, SW439, S0005, SW904, or regions of chromosome 5 spanning therebetween; or ii) SWR68, S0024, SW827, SW727, SW539, or regions of chromosome 9 spanning therebetween; or iii) SW2094, SW2116 or regions of chromosome 9 spanning therebetween. From the genotypic data so generated pigs of the preferred genotype can be selected for slaughter or use in breeding programs. A kit for conducting the assay is also described.
