ABSTRACT

The objective of the present review was to identify the genes and genomic regions that have been associated with growth and carcass traits in pigs, their use and their possible inclusion in animal improvement programs. With the development of genetic markers, it has been possible to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with growth and carcass traits in pigs. Two strategies have been used to accomplish this goal: the candidate gene approach and the genome-wide search. Using combinations of both strategies, genomic regions on chromosomes 3,4,5,6,7, 12 and 13 have been potentially associated with growth and fat. Genomic regions associated with quantitative traits will need to be identified in each population. QTL segregating in one population may be fixed in another, however, as long as genetic variance for the trait still exists, they will be segregating and therefore, it is possible to identify them. If marker-assisted selection is to take place in a population, it is critical to recognize the QTL that affect the traits.
