Indigenous Guizhou pig breeds exhibit distinct ancestral sources from Western pigs, with the Jianhe White Xiang showing pronounced genetic divergence and reduced genetic diversity.
Assessment of 283 pigs across 7 native breeds confirmed moderate genetic diversity in six populations, whereas Jianhe White Xiang animals showed high vulnerability to inbreeding.
Analysis using single-nucleotide polymorphism markers and admixture analysis identified candidate selection signals, supporting targeted breeding plans to conserve local swine populations.
