| Goal and objectives of the project | Selecting and breeding native wild boar, then improving the breeding technology of commercial hybrid wild boar. Establishment of breeding farm and branding Tay Nguyen wild boar from Central Highlands. In vitro and in vivo conservation of wild boar genetic resources. Quality improvement of the beef cattle in several border regions of Dak Nong province for economic development associated with national security. Application of technology of sex-sorting sperm and reproductive hormones to improve the dairy cows, contributing to the development of both the quality and quantity of dairy cows in Lam Dong province. |
| Main results | Theoretical results: selecting and breeding native wild boar, then improving the breeding technology of commercial hybrid wild boar. This study evaluated the characteristics in the growth and development of wild boars, also estimated the biological characteristics of gametes and somatic cells of wild boars. The relationship between meat quality and polymorphism of the quality-related genes in porcine (GRHM, MC4R, C8) and bovine (Leptin, DGAT1, SCD1) has been evaluated, helping to select the high quality individuals.
|
| Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results | Determination of the growth and development of the wild boar and preservation of gametes and somatic cells of the Tay Nguyen native wild boar. This study has evaluated the polymorphism of genes related to meat quality of crossbred pigs and crossbred cows, helping to select individuals with high quality performance. |
| Products of the project | - Scientific papers in referred journals (list): the main articles: |
| Research area | The Border Guard Command of Dak Nong Province; Minh Tam cooperative, Tuy Duc district, Dak Nong; several farmers in Don Duong and Duc Trong, Lam Dong. |
