布鲁斯·科克伦(Bruce Cochrane)写道，据Fast Genetics公司的一名高级遗传学家称，遗传评定的成本已经下降到一个很低水平，能使得每个候选个体使用该技术。基因组学主要研究有机个体的基因组，在养猪生产中，研究对象即猪的基因组。利用基因技术能鉴别猪肉行业的良种家畜中存在的优秀特质，这项技术越来越受欢迎。Fast Genetics公司的一名高级遗传学家Murray Duggan说：“当在选择良种家畜时，我们主要关注生产效率、生产一大窝仔猪的能力、更重的断奶仔畜体重、快速的生长率、良好的饲料转化率以及最终的优秀胴体与肉类质量。”
CANADA - A Senior Geneticist with Fast Genetics says the cost of genetic evaluation has fallen to a level that makes the technology practical for every selection candidate, writes Bruce Cochrane.Genomics is the study of the genome of an organism and, in the case of pork production, it's the genome of the pig.The use of genomics to identify the presence of desirable traits in breeding stock within the pork industry has become increasingly popular.Murray Duggan, a Senior Geneticist with Fast Genetics, says when selecting breeding stock we're all about production efficiency, the ability to raise a large litter of pigs, large weaning weights, rapid growth rates, good feed conversion and ultimately good carcass and meat quality.
