Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to analyse the genetic diversity and population structure of five Ethiopian chicken ecotypes (N = 155), which were compared with six commercial purebreds (N = 180). For the analysis of genetic diversity, 26 AVIANDIV microsatellite markers were used. The number of alleles in Ethiopian ecotypes ranged from 2 to 19 per locus, with a mean of 6.1. The average observed heterozygosity within ecotype...
