SNP SNP markers for prediction of pigs weaning number and methods for prediction of pigs weaning number using the same

摘要

The present invention relates to a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker for predicting weaning number of pigs, and a method for predicting weaning number using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to an SNP marker representing a correlation with weaning number of pigs, a microarray, a kit, and a method for producing the weaning number using the same. Since the SNPs of the present invention show high correlation with the weaning number, the use of the SNP marker enables early prediction of the weaning number of pigs through genetic test. Therefore, the SNP marker is highly applicable for early selection of fecund breeding pigs and development of species.
