The genetic variability and divergence of eight chicken lines were evaluated using nine microsatellite markers. The chicken lines included three White Leghorn hybrids, three Finnish Landrace lines, a Rhode Island Red line, and a broiler hybrid line. All the microsatellite loci were found to be polymorphic, the number of alleles varying from 4 to 13 per locus and 1 to 10 per line, respectively. ...

This investigation aimed to assess genetics of body conformation and feed efficiency traits in a control line of Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicken taking single hatched out pedigreed 100 chicks at Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar, India. Data was analyzed by least squares analysis of variance. Least squares means of chick weight (CW), body weight (BW), shank length (SL), keel length (KL...

We compared the degrees of vitality 12 Korean native chicken breeds, such as Jaeraejong, Rhode Island Red (Rhode), White Leghorn, Cornish (Cornish), and Ogye breeds. The survival rate telomere length were measured vital markers. Telomere was analyzed via quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization method using lymphocytes 466 chickens. found that decreased linearly with increasing chronolog...

The study was aimed at evaluation of the applicability of selected microsatellite markers in examining genetic diversity in five Polish local chicken varieties (two groups of native crested chickens, crestless native chickens from Subcarpathian region and two groups of native miniature chickens) and reveal their genetic relationships to five purebreds (Leghorn, Rhode Island Red, Sussex, Greenle...

This study was conducted at Beresa watershed district of Guraghe Administrative Zone, the southern Regional State of Ethiopia to evaluate the on-farm reproductive and egg production performances of local Kei and its F1 crosses with Fayoumi and Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicken breeds under farmers’ management. The local Kei paternal line was mated with maternal lines of Fayoumi and RIR chickens to...

The present study aimed to assess impact of selection based on microsatellite-genotypes at ADL0176 and the association MCW0044 located chromosome number-2 with growth layer economic traits in RIR chicken could reveal when sire component influenced progeny-birds different genotypes microsatellites. DD, EE CC/AD-genotypes microsatellite had corresponding higher BW28, BW40 EW40 progeny than other ...
