Abstract excerpt
White Leghorn chickens from a nonselected closed population were typed for two RFLP located in the 3' end of the gene coding for cytosolic phosphoenol-pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C), a major control gene of gluconeogenesis. The two RFLP gave rise to three alleles (or haplotype classes), thus defining six genotypes. Feed efficiency (FE) and residual feed consumption (RFC) varied significantly among the genotypes...
