The paraoxonase (Pon) gene family contains three members: Pon1, Pon2, and Pon3. Pon3 modulates superoxide production and prevents apoptosis. The role of Pon3 has not been fully elucidated in the pig. This study is the first to investigate the association between Pon3 and meat quality in the Berkshire pig. We identified a single nucleotide polymorphism in the Pon3 gene (c.227A > G) that resulted in a change in histidine to arginine at position 76. To elucidate the role of this non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism in the Pon3 gene, we analysed the Pon3 genotype and meat quality traits in 434 Berkshire pigs. The results of a codominant model show that carcass weight, meat colour (lightness), cooking loss, and the Warner–Bratzler shear force were significantly associated with the Pon3 genotype. Furthermore, the 24-h post-mortem pH had the strongest relationship with the Pon3 genotype. The G allele decreased cooking loss and fat content, whereas the A allele increased the 24-h post-mortem pH and decreased backfat thickness, which contribute to meat storage life and M. longissimus dorsi depth respectively. In conclusion, the non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism in the Pon3 gene showed a close correlation with meat quality traits in the Berkshire pig.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to estimate genetic parameters for bird carcass and meat quality traits, as well as to explore the genetic patterns of the breeding values of this population using cluster analyses. Data from 1,846 birds were used to estimate the genetic parameters of production and quality traits using the multiple-trait animal model, and cluster analyses were performed. The heritability estimates ranged from 0.08± 0.03 for meat pH measured 24 hours after slaughter to 0.85± 0.09 for body weight. The genetic correlations between production traits were high and positive. The genetic correlations between meat quality traits were low and were not informative due to the high standard errors (same magnitudes as those of the genetic correlations). The genetic correlations between meat production and quality traits were negative, except between production traits and meat lightness intensity. Based on breeding values (EBVs), the evaluated population can be divided into four groups through cluster analyses, and one group is suitable for selection because the birds presented EBVs above and around the average of the population, respectively, for production and quality traits. Therefore, it is possible to obtain genetic gains for production-related traits without decreasing meat quality.
