Genetic diversity and population structure of six autochthonous pig breeds from Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia. [PDF]

Genet Sel Evol, 2022
Background The importance of local breeds as genetic reservoirs of valuable genetic variation is well established. Pig breeding in Central and South-Eastern Europe has a long tradition that led to the formation of several local pig breeds. In the present

Genetic diversity of the Banija spotted pig breed using microsatellite markers [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2019
Banija spotted pig breed was created at the end of 19th century by crossing domestic white sows with drooping ears and/or Turopolje pig sows with black Berkshire. After a period of stagnation in breeding, the population is newly recognized only few years

Genetic diversity in Banija spotted pig: pedigree and microsatellite analyses [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2018
Genetic diversity and breed structure of Banija spotted pig (BS) was analyzed trough 721 pedigree records and polymorphism of 23 microsatellites on 30 BS pigs. Two phylogenetic trees were constructed from microsatellite and pedigree information.

12-plex highly polymorphic microsatellite marker set for parentage analysis in Banija spotted pigs [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2019
Microsatellites (MS) have been, for the last two decades, widely used for parentage analysis in all types of livestock, including pigs. Conservation efforts on Banija spotted pigs included genetic characterization of the breed with MS markers.

Reproductive parameters in a Banija Spotted pig breed population during breed revitalization [PDF]

Veterinarski arhiv, 2019
The aim of the study was to evaluate reproductive parameters in a population of the Banija Spotted (BS) pig breed. A total of 69 breeding sows registered in the herdbook were analysed according to the Order of Parity (OP) (1st, 2nd, 3rd, joint 4th and 5th parity, and all parities).

Prospects for Sustainable Production of the Banija Spotted Pig in Relation to Fattening, Carcass, and Meat Quality Traits: A Preliminary Study

Sustainability, 2023
The Banija spotted pig (BS) is a Croatian autochthonous breed that was officially recognised in 2018. The breed remains threatened with extinction and is on its way to establishing a production cycle that will ensure long-term conservation and sustainability. However, there is a general lack of data on the production traits of BS pigs.

PEDIGREE ANALYSIS OF BANIJA SPOTTED PIG [PDF]

Stočarstvo : Časopis za unapređenje stočarstva, 2018
Genetic diversity of local and autochthonous populations of pigs is contracting due to reduced population sizes of such populations. In recent decades special attention is given to the preservation of genetic diversity of local and autochthonous populations of pigs.

Metabolomic analysis reveals spermatozoa and seminal plasma differences between Duroc and Liang guang Small-spotted pig

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
The Liang guang Small-spotted pig is a well-known Chinese indigenous pig that is valued for its exceptional meat quality. However, the Liang guang Small-spotted pig has a lower semen storage capacity, shorter storage time and worse semen quality compared

Evaluating the Clinical and Immune Responses to Spotted Fever Rickettsioses in the Guinea Pig‐Tick‐Rickettsia System

Current Protocols, 2022
The guinea pig was the original animal model developed for investigating spotted fever rickettsiosis (SFR). This model system has persisted on account of the guinea pig's conduciveness to tick transmission of SFR agents and ability to recapitulate SFR in
