Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to evaluate the associations between polymorphisms in genes encoding the main albumen proteins (lysozyme, ovomucoid, and ovalbumin) and hatchability traits in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). The experiment involved 118 females of the F33 meat-type line, which were divided into groups with high and low hatchability. Grouping was based on hatch of set (HOS) measured in the present experiment....
