Integrative Single- and Multi-Trait GWASs Identify Pleiotropic Loci Affecting Growth and Egg Production in Zhedong Geese
). Collectively, these findings provide new insights into the genetic architecture underlying the antagonistic relationship between growth and egg production in geese and offer valuable genetic targets for developing breeding strategies that jointly optimize growth performance and reproductive efficiency.
