“…The Schwäbisch-Hällisches Schwein breed was originated by crossing local pigs in Württemberg with Chinese pigs, and later by crossbreeding with pigs imported from England 2 . The creation of Black Slavonian breed, which was a dominant one on the territory of Croatia up to the mid-20th century, resulted from planned crossing between Mangalitsa, Berkshire, Poland China and Large Black (Cornwall) pig 36,37 . On the other hand, several breeds have been subjected to crossbreeding with cosmopolitan European breeds carrying Asiatic introgression, such as Krškopolje, which was likely crossed with German Landrace in times when the breed was cast out.…”

Genetic characterization of local breeds is essential to preserve their genomic variability, to advance conservation policies and to contribute to their promotion and sustainability. Genomic diversity of twenty European local pig breeds and a small sample of Spanish wild pigs was assessed using high density SNP chips. A total of 992 DNA samples were analyzed with the GeneSeek Genomic Profiler (GGP) 70 K HD porcine genotyping chip. Genotype data was employed to compute genetic diversity, population differentiation and structure, genetic distances, linkage disequilibrium and effective population size. Our results point out several breeds, such as Turopolje, Apulo Calabrese, Casertana, Mora Romagnola and Lithuanian indigenous wattle, having the lowest genetic diversity, supported by low heterozygosity and very small effective population size, demonstrating the need of enhanced conservation strategies. Principal components analysis showed the clustering of the individuals of the same breed, with few breeds being clearly isolated from the rest. Several breeds were partially overlapped, suggesting genetic closeness, which was particularly marked in the case of Iberian and Alentejana breeds. Spanish wild boar was also narrowly related to other western populations, in agreement with recurrent admixture between wild and domestic animals. We also searched across the genome for loci under diversifying selection based on FST outlier tests. Candidate genes that may underlie differences in adaptation to specific environments and productive systems and phenotypic traits were detected in potentially selected genomic regions.

“…The Banija spotted breed is characterized by a white coat with black spots and high fertility [80]. The Black Slavonian pig (Crna Slavonska) is an autochthonous breed from the eastern region of Croatia [81] created by crossing Mangalitza, Berkshire, Poland China, and Large Black (Cornwall) pigs [82][83][84]. The most important characteristic of this breed is its black coat color.…”

The purpose of this paper is to summarize the available important information on local pig breeds maintained in Europe. Genetic erosion has prompted national and international bodies to take organized action aimed at the minimization of further losses of biodiversity. Since the genetic resources of livestock ensure both food security and the sustainable development of rural areas, genetic diversity is indispensable for sufficient flexibility of future animal husbandry to adapt to changing consumer demands and climatic conditions. Therefore, the problem of biodiversity has recently become an essential part of the comprehensive international program of the World Conservation Strategy and the global idea of the so-called sustainable development. The issue of biodiversity protection occupies an important place in the provisions of the EU Common Agricultural Policy. The successive financial perspectives assume an increase in relevant expenditure from the EU and national budgets. With regard to the protection of native pig breeds, a particularly large increase in funding was recorded in 2014–2020.

“…The mechanism of action of some antibiotics such as streptomycin, tetracycline, aspergillic acid and usinic acid were exhibited antibacterial effect due to their metal chelating activities. 5,6 Metal chelating abilities of Schif's bases, inspired several chemist to test the antibacterial and other biological activities of Schif's bases. This was a distraction from research on diazo compounds, as diazo compounds were proved to be toxic and azomethines were believed as substitute to diazo compounds in search for novel molecules and resulted in synthesis of various Schif's bases for testing their biological activities.…”
