Meat quality is an important trait for pig-breeding programs aiming to meet consumers’ demands. Geneticists must improve meat quality based on their understanding of the underlying genetic mechanisms. Previous studies showed that most meat-quality indicators were low-to-moderate heritability traits; therefore, improving meat quality using conventional techniques remains a challenge. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study of meat-quality traits using the GeneSeek Porcine SNP50K BeadChip in 582 crossbred Duroc × (Landrace × Yorkshire) commercial pigs (249 males and 333 females). Meat conductivity, marbling score, moisture, meat color, pH, and intramuscular fat (IMF) content were investigated. The genome-wide association study was performed using both fixed and random model Circulating Probability Unification (FarmCPU) and a mixed linear model (MLM) with the rMVP software. The genomic heritability of the studied traits ranged from 0.13 ± 0.07 to 0.55 ± 0.08 for conductivity and meat color, respectively. Thirty-two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified for meat quality in the crossbred pigs using both FarmCPU and MLM. Among the detected SNPs, five, nine, seven, four, six, and five were significantly associated with conductivity, IMF, marbling score, meat color, moisture, and pH, respectively. Several candidate genes for meat quality were identified in the detected genomic regions. These findings will contribute to the ongoing improvement of meat quality, meeting consumer demands and improving the economic outlook for the swine industry.

Growth, carcass characteristics and meat quality are the most important traits used in the rabbit industry. Identification of the candidate markers and genes significantly associated with these traits will be beneficial in rabbit breeding. In this study, we enrolled 465 rabbits, including 16 male Californian rabbits and 17 female Kangda5 line rabbits as the parental generation, along with their offspring (232 male and 200 female), in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on SLAF-seq technology. Bodyweight at 35, 42, 49, 56, 63 and 70 d was recorded for growth traits; and slaughter liveweight (84 d) and dressing out percentage were measured as carcass traits; and cooking loss and drip loss were measured as meat quality traits. A total of 5,223,720 SLAF markers were obtained by digesting the rabbit genome using RsaI + EcoRV-HF® restriction enzymes. After quality control, a subset of 317,503 annotated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was retained for subsequent analysis. A total of 28, 81 and 10 SNPs for growth, carcass and meat quality traits, respectively, were identified based on genome-wide significance (p < 3.16 × 10−7). Additionally, 16, 71 and 9 candidate genes were identified within 100 kb upstream or downstream of these SNPs. Further analysis is required to determine the biological roles of these candidate genes in determining rabbit growth, carcass traits and meat quality.
