Identification of genetic markers associated with laying production in ostriches (Struthio camelus) – a preliminary study
Journal Title: Animal Science Papers and Reports - Year 2010, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the study was a search for genetic markers associated with laying production in African Black ostriches (Struthio camelus) based on DNA fingerprinting (DFPs) method. Although analysis of the DFPs failed to distinguish bands specific for the highest or lowest parameters of laying performance, the present results did not allow for deduction about the potential lack of linkage between minisatellite DNA markers and QTLs of laying. A need for further research in this field is concluded.
