Sažetak
We investigated the malignant hyperthermia (MH) gene status in pigs on some farms in Croatia. Molecular test using polymerase chain reaction was used and 285 swine of four breeds and some crossbred pigs were tested. The obtained results showed the existence of approximately 11% of heterozygotes and about 1% of susceptible homozygotes in the breeding population of tested swine+. These results are better than the results obtained in England, USA and Canada. Assesed MH status opens the possibilities of selective breeding with the aim of the production of the animals with better fattening traits and superior meat quality.
