MINIATURE PIGS OF ICG AS A MODEL OBJECT FOR MORPHOGENETIC RESEARCH

Abstract

The article provides a full description of genesis, formation conditions, genealogic and genetic structure of the ICG minipig population. It shows the present state of the population and its unique features (in comparison to other minipigs) that can be interesting for breeders and geneticists. Experimental material of 1990–1992 (population foundation) and 2012–2013 (recent) is invoked.
