Genetic Variability of Loci Affecting Meat Quality and Production in Nero Siciliano Pig Breed

Genetic Variability of Loci Affecting Meat Quality and Production in Nero Siciliano Pig Breed

Nero Siciliano (NS) is an autochthonous pig breed reared in northeastern Sicily; despite its high-quality meat products, NS is currently endangered. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic variability at nine loci within candidate genes for meat traits—Melanocortin 4 Receptor (<i>MC4R</i&g...
