摘要: The thoracic vertebral number is associated with body length and carcass traits, represents one of the most important traits in pig industry. Recent studies have shown that vertnin (VRTN) gene variations commercial European pigs. However, genetic relationships effect this VRTN production remain uncertain. Therefore, we investigated among such as numbers, weight length-related meat polymorphisms on these a Duroc purebred population selected for its traits. Highly positive correlations were obtained between numbers (0.56 to 0.84), whereas low (-0.16 0.05). indicated vertebrae significantly genotype, but had no significant weight. results indicate may be used an effective selection marker obtain pigs high without adversely affecting
