Influence of amylase genotypes on growth rate and feed conversion of chickens.

Poultry science - 1 Jul 1994

Hughes B L, Suniga R G, Yardley D G

Abstract excerpt

Chickens from two breeds were screened for amylase alleles designated as AmyF and AmyS to establish breeder flocks homozygous for each. Offspring from these flocks were then used to test the hypothesis that AmyF and AmyS amylases differ in their ability to digest cornstarch and wheat starch. The amylase allozymes were found to affect growth and feed conversion performance of the chickens, and the effects were...
