Abstract |
Growth and carcass traits are very important traits for broiler chickens. However, carcass traits can only be measured postmortem. Genomic selection may be a powerful tool for such traits because of its accurate prediction of breeding values of animals without own phenotypic information. This study investigated the efficiency of genomic prediction in Chinese triple-yellow chickens. As a new line, Chinese triple-yellow chicken was developed by cross-breeding and had a small effective population. Two growth traits and three carcass traits were analyzed: body weight at 6 weeks, body weight at 12 weeks, eviscerating percentage, breast muscle percentage and leg muscle percentage. |
