Resistance against E.Coli 149-F4
Breeding projects in DanBred
The animal must be homozygote (RR) to be resistant. In 2003 was only 1% of the Landrace and 20 % of Large
White genotype RR. In Duroc are 90 % resistant and there has only being found resistant Hampshire. The goal
is to have resistant slaughter pigs.
After 2 years of selection is Landrace increased to 11 % and Large White is 49 %.
Durability
Since 2001 there has being an investigation to see if there is a connection between durability and heredity. This
can give the answer if the breeding target can be changed to achieve higher durability.
Salmonella resistant
A small group of animals (<5%) do never got infected with Salmonella. A trial will confirm if it is genetic for
certain.
Lung diseases
First trial has shown that there is a difference in the level of lounge disease between the individual boars,
and that there is a low validity for both known lounge diseases. This opens for the opportunity, to include
resistant against lounge disease in the breed.
Genom-project
In 2005 started phase 4 of 5 in the giant project to identify and mapping groups of chromosome areas that
have influence on economical important characteristics. Primary is to find resistance against diseases.
Genetic cause of boar smell
The purpose is to find the genes that are responsible for the smell of boar in pig meat.
Hernia
The purpose is to see if there are responsible genes involved in the hernia problematic.
