Genomic Regions and Candidate Genes Affecting Response to Heat Stress with Newcastle Virus Infection in Commercial Layer Chicks Using Chicken 600K Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Array.

Abstract excerpt

Heat stress results in significant economic losses to the poultry industry. Genetics plays an important role in chickens adapting to the warm environment. Physiological parameters such as hematochemical parameters change in response to heat stress in chickens. To explore the genetics of heat stress resilience in chickens, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using Hy-Line Brown layer chicks...
