The influence of the genotypes of MC4R gene on fattening and meat qualities of pigs of Landrace. Determined that genotypes AA, AG and GG MC4R gene in the DNA genotyping boars LD. Defined reliable correlation between genotypes of MC4R gene and productivity of pigs. As “desirable” is defined genotype AG, which in pigs breeds LD is associated with better precocity 1.65 and average daily gains on 110. Data analysis fattening and meat qualities and genotyping results showed a significant correlation between genotypes of MC4R gene and productivity of pigs. Thus, to improve fattening and meat qualities of pigs it is recommended to use DNA genotyping pigs MC4R gene as an additional criterion of selection and selection of animals.
