Effects of Myostatin Mutation on Onset of Laying, Egg Production, Fertility, and Hatchability
Increased body weight and muscle mass, along with improved feed efficiency, by myostatin (MSTN) mutation in quail, supports the potential use of MSTN as a selection marker for higher meat yield in the poultry industry. Although economically important traits of broilers have been studied using recent...
