New insights into the genetic loci related to egg weight and age at first egg traits in broiler breeder

ABSTRACT: Egg weight (EW) and age at first egg (AFE) are economically important traits in breeder chicken production. The genetic basis of these traits, however, is far from understood, especially for broiler breeders. In this study, genetic parameter estimation, genome-wide association analysis, me...
