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 thegene 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, particularlylead the genes of the growth traits to become homozygous within one generation, thus accelerating the cultivation of the lean-type Chinese Huai pigs.
