Abstract: MC4R and NR6A1 genes were selected to conduct correlation analysis on carcass and growth of black individuals in the offspring of F2 hybridized populations of Yorkshire pigs and Qingping pigs respectively, in order to provide some theoretical basis for breeding Qingping pig hybrid lines in production practice. The results are as follows:the dominant gene of MC4R is G allele, the difference of different genotypes on backfat thickness is obvious, the average daily gain of AA individuals is significantly different from AG individuals (P<0.05), and the positive genotype is GG compared with GG individuals(P<0.01). The dominant gene of NR6A1 is A allele, and the effect of different genotypes on backfat thickness is obvious. The favorable genes for carcass and growth characters are A and G alleles, respectively.

Key words: Qingping pigs, candidate genes, carcass traits, growth traits, association analysis
