Recent Developments in Genetic Improvement of Pigs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Building on a solid foundation of performance testing, quantitative genetics, and statistical estimation of breeding values; recent developments in pig line improvement programs have included the application of both major gene and marker genomics, and an increased focus on genotype by environment interactions and crossbred selection objectives. Additionally, selection objectives have broadened to include meat quality, livability/robustness traits, and commercial breeding companies have also embarked on customized line development programs for various large integrated or highly coordinated pork chains.

متن کاملTrichinella britovi as a risk factor for alternative pig production systems in Greece and Europe
Trichinellosis is an important zoonosis and the most common source of human infection is meat from pigs and wild boars. The European Union (EU) supports alternative pig production systems (organic and free-ranging) as sustainable farming systems. However, these systems that allow outdoor access for farm animals, may create new or reintroduce old risks to public health. During the last years, al...
