Article Synopsis
- Egg production is crucial for laying hens, and a study analyzed 266 LingKun Chickens to find genetic markers linked to traits like egg weight and shell strength.
- Thirty-seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were discovered that correspond to key traits, and these SNPs are near thirteen candidate genes that influence egg production and quality.
- Notably, SLIT3, a gene connected to bone formation, emerged as a potential candidate for influencing eggshell strength, indicating the importance of these genetic findings for enhancing breeding strategies in poultry.
