Polymorphism of Ghrelin Gene in Twelve Chinese Indigenous Chicken Breeds and Its Relationship with Chicken Growth Traits

Abstract

96 commercial chicken individuals were sampled from 12 Chinese indigenous chicken breeds and one commercial breed. The characteristics of twelve local chicken breeds are described in Poultry Genetic Resources in China They were randomly collected from the pure
