Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to map QTL for meat quality traits in three connected porcine F(2) crosses comprising around 1000 individuals. The three crosses were derived from the founder breeds Chinese Meishan, European Wild Boar and Pietrain. The animals were genotyped genomewide for approximately 250 genetic markers, mostly microsatellites. They were phenotyped for seven meat quality traits (pH at 45 min and 24 h...
