Application Progress of Genomic Selection and Mating Allocation Techniques in Pig Breeding
Selection and mating are the core contents of pig breeding work,and scientific and rational selection and mating are important means to accelerate genetic improvement.With the rapid development of biological breeding technology,genomic selection(GS)and genomic mating(GM)techniques have played significant roles in the genetic improvement of pigs.GS is a method that uses molecular markers covering the entire genome to evaluate and predict the genetic potential of breeding target individuals,which achieves early selection by constructing models to predict individual genomic breeding values.GM,on the other hand,is about optimizing mating combinations to produce superior offspring for the rapid transmission of excellent traits.This article reviews the development,application progress and future prospects of GS and GM techniques in pig breeding,aiming to provide a reference in pig breeding in China.
