Native chicken population

Modern breeding in the poultry industry mainly aims to produce high-performance poultry lines and breeds in two main directions of productivity, meat and eggs. To understand more about the productive potential of lowly selected Chinese native chicken populations, we selected 14 representative SNP markers strongly associated with growth traits or carcass traits and 14 SNP markers strongly associated with egg laying traits through previous reports.

Backyard poultry production system is the most popular poultry farming practice in rural part of India. Backyard poultry production contributes about 15 percent of total poultry output today in India.
