Molecular markers can be used to identify chromosomal regions harboring quantitative trait locos (QTL) that control traits of economic importance in farm animals. To study these locos in the pig, a resource population has been generated from a cross between two Naturalized Brazilian Piau grand sires and eighteen Commercial grand dams (Landrace x Large White x Piétrain). A total of 614 F2 progeny from 50 matings of F1 parents were produced. Phenotypic data on performance, carcass, internal organs, viscera, carcass cuts and meat quality traits were collected on the F2 animals. Parentals, F1 e F2 animals were genotyped for 17 microsatellite markers covering the chromosomes 5, 7 e 8. The loci were considered appropriate for quantitative analysis, when it was analysed their values for observed heterogosity (Ho), expected heterozigosity (He) and polimorfic information content (PIC). In the chromosome 5, the average values of the Ho, He; and PIC found were 0,73; 0,66 and 0,61; in the chromosome 7, the values found were 0,81, 071 and 0,67 and in the chromosome 8 had the average values for Ho, He and PIC of 0,65; 0,65 and 0,61 respectively. After the genotype scoring, it was constructed the linkage map for these markers in the population. Association analyses were performed using interval mapping by regression for QTL detection. Seventeen QTL were mapped for carcass and cuts carcass traits on the three chromosomes, while just one QTL for feed intake were found for performance trait in the eight chromosome. One QTL for Total (bone-in) loin weight (Kg) and for bacon depth were mapped and not yet described in the literature on the seven chromosome. The generated information of significant QTL will be useful for future studies dealing fine mapping with and identification of genes that could provide a better understanding of physiology and production traits of pigs.
