Abstract excerpt
Growth traits constitute critical factors in the breeding program of broiler chickens. The Chengkou mountain chicken A-lineage (CMC-A) represents a breed specifically bred for meat production. To further explore the growth performance of the CMC-A population, this study conducted whole-genome sequencing on 464 CMC-A roosters to systematically evaluate their genetic diversity. Additionally, runs of homozygosity...
