Although the Brazilian naturalized pig breeds have been little studied it is known that they present adaptation traits that could be useful in breeding programs aiming at future consumer demands. For this reason, the objective of this work was to evaluate the actual genetic diversity and the population structure of five naturalized and commercial pig breeds sampled in Brazil utilizing 28 microsatellite loci to infer about some primary tasks important in the area of conservations of pig genetic resources. This study made it possible to clarify the importance of the local or naturalized breeds as well as to propose some management strategies for these Brazilian genetic resources. If the molecular markers are used holistically together with other methodologies, like was done in this present study, they can become a very important tool in assisting the conservation and improvement of herds. Therefore, to preserve the genetic integrity of breeds is necessary, in order to prevent their disappearance, as well as to develop similar research aiming at their conservation. In this way, the genetic potential of these naturalized breeds can be used more effectively as a resource for unexpected future demands in the area of animal improvement.<\/p>\n<p>For more information the full article can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.journals.elsevierhealth.com\/periodicals\/livsci\">http:\/\/www.journals.elsevierhealth.com\/periodicals\/livsci<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until now, among all the types of molecular markers, the microsatellite loci are the most widely used when studying the genetic diversity and population structure of livestock.
