  • Recent challenges to the EU agricultural sector call for new management approaches that reconcile animal food production with the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, promotes the delivery of ecosystem services and benefits the agricultural sector and society as a whole. Despite the admirable efforts made in the last years, one of the main obstacles in recovering pig biodiversity lies in the limited number of Italian local breeds able to withstand the commercial competition with cosmopolitan breeds (i.e. the Large White, Landrace and Duroc) and the commercial crosses. To date in the national Herd Book only six local breeds are recorded: Cinta Senese, Mora Romagnola, Nero Siciliano, Casertana, Apulo- Calabrese and Sarda. In recent years, an attempt has been done to reconstruct an ancient genetic type barely still existing, the “Nero di Garlasco”, characterized by a black coat colour and growth rates similar to the ones of commercial breeds, in the province of Pavia (Lomellina). To achieve this goal, a genetic characterization of the residual population should be conducted. The tight bottleneck this population passed, allowed the fixation of genetic markers enabling a precise traceability of its products, ideal requisite for the valorisation of the production system. Thanks to innovative technologies, a population of 96 animals, belonging to the Nero di Garlasco genetic type, was analyzed using the PorcineSNP60 BeadChip, in order to screen about 60,000 SNPs. The obtained data allowed a first description of the genetic structure of this population, but further studies are required to characterize this swine genetic type. (literal)
