Biological mechanisms discriminating growth rate and adult body weight phenotypes in two Chinese indigenous chicken breeds

Abstract Background Intensive selection has resulted in increased growth rates and muscularity in broiler chickens, in addition to adverse effects, including delayed organ development, sudden death syndrome, and altered metabolic rates. The biological mechanisms underlying selection responses remain...
