Abstract excerpt
The Sansui duck is a valuable Chinese genetic resource. However, incomplete exploration of its genetic resources has limited the full utilization of its genetic potential. This study systematically evaluated the growth and carcass performance in 305 Sansui ducks and explored their genetic basis through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Body weight (recorded biweekly from 0 to 20 weeks), body measurement...
