Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate common effective single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on two and four week body weight, breast and carcass weights traits (slaughtered at 28 days of age) in Japanese quail. For this purpose, phenotypic data of 105 birds and 12798 SNPs were used. Phenotypic correlation among the interested traits were estimated using a multiple (four) trait model, such that the effects of sex and hatch were considered as a fixed effects. Also, a single marker regression method was applied to estimated marker (SNP) effect for each traits. The results showed that the effect of sex and hatch on the interested traits were significant (p < 0.0001). The highest correlation was estimated between four week body weight and carcass weight (0.96). The number of common effective SNPs were 3 and 36 for 1% and 5% significant levels, respectively. Due to the high correlation among these traits, probably common effective SNPs are located on or near the genes controlling these traits.
