During the last century, all the Italian pig breeds suffered a narrow bottleneck. Nowadays, only six Italian local breeds are still reared in Italy and only Cinta Senese and Mora Romagnola breeds can account on rather complete and reliable pedigree. The aim of the work was to assess both genetic variability and genetic contribution of founders and herds to the present populations for these breeds in order to explore the possibility to set up a selection of breeding animals. The results showed that both breeds still need an accurate mating management in order to contain inbreeding levels and at the moment no selection strategies could be planned.

Abstract
During the last century, all the Italian pig breeds suffered a narrow bottleneck. Nowadays, only six Italian local breeds are still reared in Italy and only Cinta Senese and Mora Romagnola breeds can account on rather complete and reliable pedigree. The aim of the work was to assess both genetic variability and genetic contribution of founders and herds to the present populations for these breeds in order to explore the possibility to set up a selection of breeding animals. The results showed that both breeds still need an accurate mating management in order to contain inbreeding levels and at the moment no selection strategies could be planned.
