Effect of CAPN3 gene genotypes on productive traits and carcass traits of broiler

Determining the genotypes of CAPN3 gene and studying its relationship to some economic characteristics broiler chickens, which included weekly weights, final live weight, carcass weight parts in addition correlation coefficient for important Ross characteristics. 308 100 chicks were bred 35 days taken. Primary birds weighed all numbered. Genotypes determined by analyzing nitrogenous base sequences studied part site variation bases (G>C2426) was diagnosed resulting calculated, are three genotypes: GG, GC, CC gene. As gene, results showed statistically significant differences traits such as chest wing while did not indicate any between models other body carcass, thigh back superiority genotype on rest individuals traits. study suggests possibility using molecular markers poultry breeding selection programs.
