Abstract

The present study was aimed to investigate the relationship between diarrhoea-associated polymorphisms and pre-weaning growth rates in an organized Landlly herd. A total of 250 piglets were genotyped for 10 shortlisted SNPs and assessed for pre-weaning growth rates, with body weights recorded from birth to the 6^th week of age. Seven out of the 10 SNPs were found to be polymorphic in the target population, with the MUC 4-g.8227 G>C locus significantly affecting growth rates of the 2^nd to 4^th week piglets whereas, the MUC 20-g.191 affected growth rates at the 4^th week of age. These findings suggest that the g.8227C>G and g.191C>T SNP polymorphisms are associated with both growth performance and diarrhoea in piglets, recommending that a balanced approach should be maintained between health status and growth performance in piglet selection programs.
