Insulin-like growth factor I gene polymorphism associated with growth and carcass traits in Thai synthetic chickens

N. Promwatee, Laopaiboon, B., Vongpralub, T., Phasuk, Y., Kunhareang, S., Boonkum, W., and Duangjinda, M., Insulin-like growth factor I gene polymorphism associated with growth and carcass traits in Thai synthetic chickens, vol. 12, pp. 4332-4341, 2013.

Four Thai synthetic chicken lines (Kaen Thong, Khai Mook Esarn, Soi Nin, and Soi Pet) originated from Thai native and exotic commercial chickens were evaluated for their growth and carcass traits with the purpose of developing a Thai broiler breeding program. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) gene is known to play an important role in growth, proliferation and differentiation. Consequently, we investigated the possibility of using the IGF-I gene for marker-assisted selection in Thai synthetic chickens.
