Abstract
The porcine breeding goals are improved lean meat production and meat quality, at the same time. The muscle fiber traits is possible to account for them, because the most of it had medium or high heritability (h2 = 0.25 to 0.76) and significant genetic and phenotypic correlations with their traits. But, their traits could be only measured at carcass muscle. So, the newly molecular marker needed for selection of these traits without slaughter of breeding pig.
