Abstract

Based on the conducted studies using DNA testing and microsatellite markers, the genealogical structure and microsatellite profile of breeding herds of White-Russian factory-type Yorkshire pigs created in JSC «SGC «Zapadny» and SE «Zhodinoagroplemelita» were developed, which are based on the new lines Drug6805 and Dobry 2313. The average number of private alleles in loci in boars of different lines was 0,111–0,593. The created breeding herds and new lines will serve as the basis for the breeding of the factory type of pigs in the Yorkshire breed.
