Sažetak
The paper presents the main activities and results of the genetic investigations undertaken as a part of of the large-scale, multidisciplinary project “Diversity of local pig breeds and production systems for high-quality traditional products and sustainable pork chains (TREASURE)” financed under the Horizon 2020 programme. The comprehensive research was performed on 20 European local pig breeds, with many of them being untapped, especially from the genetic point of view. The results of the genetic investigations showed that local pig breeds indeed are an unexploited treasure representing a big genetic pool of the Sus scrofa species and ensuring the biodiversity that is significantly reduced in modern pig breeds and hybrids.
