Abstract

The present study was carried out to identify the polymorphism in the promoter of ACACB gene vis-à-vis effect of polymorphism on egg production traits in IWI and IWK lines of White Leghorn layer chicken. A total of 500 birds comprising of 250 IWI line and 250 IWK line of White Leghorn chicken included in this study.. Results showed that, the promoter region was polymorphic. With respect to egg production in all age groups showed higher egg production in IWI line, when compared to the IWK line. A total of twelve haplotypes and eighteen haplogroups were formed. The haplogroup h12h12 showed the highest egg production (193.20±7.56) and the h1h2 haplogroup showed the lowest egg production (126.80±3.54) up to 52 weeks of age. In all age groups h12h12 haplogroup showed the highest egg production in IWI line.    It is concluded that the promotor of the ACACB gene was highly polymorphic and had significant effect on egg production   traits in White Leghorn layer chicken.
