Article Synopsis
- A previous study found a link between a specific SNP (g.420 C>A) in the cholecystokinin type A receptor gene and improved growth traits in the Hinai-dori chicken breed from Japan.
- In this study, researchers confirmed that the same SNP also positively affects growth traits in Hinai-jidori chickens, a hybrid of Hinai-dori and Rhode Island Red chickens.
- The results indicated that chickens with the A/A genotype had significantly higher body weights and growth rates, suggesting that this SNP could be a valuable marker for enhancing growth in selective breeding programs for Hinai-jidori chickens.*
