Identification of regulatory loci and candidate genes related to body weight traits in broilers based on different models
Our study has uncovered novel candidate genes that are potentially involved in growth traits, providing valuable insights for broiler breeding. The identified SNPs and genes could serve as genetic markers for selecting broilers with improved growth efficiency, which may lead to more cost-effective and productive broiler farming.
