RESULTS CONCERNING GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF MANGALITA BREED USING MICROSATELLITE MARKERS
Keywords:
microsatellite markers, genetic characterization, Mangalita, populationAbstract
The proper use, further development, testing and deployment of animal genetic
resources is essential to enhancement of food security and sustainable intensification
of food production. For Red Mangalita conservation, we studied four microsatellite
markers (SO228, SW72, SW911 and SW936) in order to genetic characterization of
two populations. The results showed that both populations are in genetic imbalance,
but also indicate high population variability, without the risk of genetic drift.
