Many quantitative trait loci for feather growth in an F(2) broiler × layer cross collocate with body weight loci.

British poultry science - 1 Jan 2012

Hocking P M, Morrice D M, Law A S, Burt D W

Abstract excerpt

1. A genome-wide scan of 467 F(2) progeny of a broiler x layer cross was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting the rate of growth of the tail, wing and back feathers, and the width of the breast feather tract, at three weeks of age. 2. Correlations between the traits ranged from 0·36 to 0·61. Males had longer tail and wing feathers and shorter back feathers than females. Breast feather...
