We used six microsatellite markers for eleven growth and carcass traits with the aim to confirm these QTL. Markers ROS74, ADL114 and MCW56 confirmed previously coarsely mapped QTL for feet weight in the region between 302 and 358 cM on chromosome 2. Microsatellite marker MCW223 on chromosome 5 showed significant effects for correlated carcass traits. Microsatellite markers LEI110 and ADL210 on chromosome 11 were statistically significant for carcass weight and correlated traits, body weight on day 55 and feet weight in F3 population.
