The chicken meat production in Brazil has a recognized importance in world economy as a result of the continuous improvement of performance traits, mainly due to breeding programs. Selected animals for rapid growth and increased muscle deposition also exhibited increased fat deposition in carcass. The excess of fat deposition in carcass is a negative factor to the production considering t…
The Brazilian production of chicken meat presents a growing worldwide behavior, achieving by a significant improvement in the performance indicators, mainly due to the genetic improvement. New techniques of sequencing (next-generation sequencing) enable the generation of a larger number of sequence data and the identification of a larger number of mutations associated with the traits of i…
Animals selected for rapid growth and increased muscle deposition also have higher carcass fat deposition. Excess of fat deposited in the carcass is a negative factor for production considering the processing cost and the depreciation in the value of the product. The fat deposition is a trait controlled by several genes involved in lipid metabolism. The identification of genetic component…
