Unraveling genomic associations with feed efficiency and body weight traits in chickens through an integrative approach

Abstract Background Feed efficiency and growth rate have been targets for selection to improve chicken production. The incorporation of genomic tools may help to accelerate selection. We genotyped 529 individuals using a high-density SNP chip (600 K, Affymetrix®) to estimate genomic heritability of...
