This study aimed to systematically evaluate the population genetic characteristics of Hetao Big-ear pigs using genomic approaches, providing scientific basis for the conservation of their germplasm resources. Based on 50K SNP chip data, Using software such as plink (v1.90), GCTA (v1.93), and MEGAX (v10.0) for analysis, PCA, genetic distance, kinship relationship, inbreeding coefficient, and phylogenetic tree information were obtained. Multi-dimensional analysis methods were used to detect 78 Hetao Big-ear pigs. Population structure analysis revealed that the population could be divided into 4 subgroups, with an average genetic distance of 0.793, and 6 sire lineages forming the foundation of its pedigree. Analysis of genomic runs of homozygosity (ROH) detected a total of 2 601 segments, with individuals carrying an average of 21 ROHs and an average length of 7.77 Mb. The population inbreeding coefficient (FROH ) was 0.13. Comprehensive analysis indicated that this population exhibits characteristics including a limited number of lineages, relatively few sire bloodlines, moderate kinship relationships, and low inbreeding levels. These findings at the genomic level provide important references for the population optimization and genetic improvement of Hetao Big-ear pigs.
