Abstract

Abstract: The quality of boar semen directly affects the economic benefits of pig farms. Transcriptome sequencing showed that SPATA6 gene was differentially expressed in testicular tissues of porcine sexually mature and immature, and multiple SNP sites were found in its intron region. In this study, rs331255092 and rs341061477 loci of SPATA6 gene were identified by SNaPshot method in Duroc pig and Large White pig. The results showed that rs331255092 and rs341061477 were significantly correlated with sperm abnormality rate in Duroc pig and Large White pig. In addition, rs331255092 and rs341061477 were also significantly correlated with semen volume in Large White pig. In summary, rs331255092 and rs341061477 have potential regulatory effects on semen quality in pigs.

Key words: pig, SPATA6 gene, SNP, sperm abnormality rate, semen volume
