Genetic patterns and genome-wide association analysis of eggshell quality traits of egg-type chicken across an extended laying period

ABSTRACT: The industry of egg-type chicken has shown a trend of extending the rearing period, with the goal of breeding chicken breeds capable of producing 500 qualified eggs by 700 d of age. However, the rapid decline in eggshell quality during the late laying period is one of the major challenges....
