Abstract excerpt
Chicken's ability to carry Salmonella without displaying disease symptoms leads to an invisible propagation of Salmonella in poultry stocks. Using chicken lines more resistant to carrier state could improve both animal health and food safety. Previous studies identified several QTL for resistance to carrier state. To improve genome coverage and QTL detection power we produced a new set of 480 informative SNP...
