The invention relates to a method for breeding lean-type Chinese Huai pigs in a multi-
gene pyramiding manner based on growth traits thereof. The method comprises the following operating steps: 1, carrying out 
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) extraction on the 
genome of the pig; 2, designing primers, more particularly, designing the PCR (
polymerase chain reaction) amplification primers according to the 
gene sequences of 
insulin-like 
growth factor-I (IGF-I), pituitary specific 
transcription factor-I (PIT-I), 
liver X receptor alpha (LXR alpha) and 
melanocortin-4 
receptor (MC4R); 3, carrying out the PCR; 4, carrying out 
restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP); and 5, carrying out the 
correlation analysis on the polymorphism and growth traits of genes. According to the analysis, the method can determine that the single growth rate of the pyramided 
gene with the 
gene type thereof being AADDGGFF is the highest one; the method can prevent the genes of other offsprings from being isolated after the selective reservation for breeding, thus achieving the optimal effect of the growth traits of the offsprings on the four gene types; and the method can stabilize the inheritance, particularly lead the genes of the growth traits to become homozygous within one generation, thus accelerating the cultivation of the lean-type Chinese Huai pigs.
