Chicken growth traits are important economic traits in broilers. A large number of studies are
available on finding genetic factors affecting chicken growth. However, most of these studies …

Chicken growth traits are economically important, but the relevant genetic mechanisms have
not yet been elucidated. Herein, we performed a genome-wide association study to identify …

Chicken (Gallus gallus) growth traits are important economic traits, and many studies have
been conducted on genetic selection for body weight. However, most of these studies have …

Rapid growth is one of the most important economic traits in broiler breeding programs.
