Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes related to oxidative stress and ion channels in chickens are associated with semen quality and hormonal responses to thermal stress.

Abstract excerpt

Heat stress causes economic loss of livestock industry in tropical areas. Exploring genetic markers for selection of thermotolerance will benefit chicken production. Oxidative stress and fluid-salt balance are tightly associated with thermotolerance and productivity in domestic animals. The study aimed to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to oxidative stress and ion-channel...
