- Abstract
The value of the pig industry is the highest in livestock animals and presents the importance to agricultural production in Taiwan. Nowadays, most commercial pigs are crossbred, but due to the high quality of pork, Taiwan black pigs became the popular breed in the production system. However, the complexity of the local farming system, the uniformity, growth traits, and carcass traits are different in Taiwan black pig breeds. Therefore, it is necessary to characterize and identification different Taiwan black pig breeds with molecular technology. In this study, we extracted gDNA from the following black breeds: Taoyuan, Meishan, TLRI Black Pig No.l, KHAPS Black Pig from Livestock Research Institute; Pinpu, Liu-Dui, New Zeng-Feng black pig. The 640 K SNP array was used for genetic structure analysis. The results showed we can identify and reveal the genetic structure between different Taiwan black pig breeds and could provide information for breeding and management.
