Abstract
Aim of this study was to discover the genetic variants for average daily gain (ADG),
body weight (BW) and primary feather length (PRF) traits in Pekin ducks. Using 1215
ducks and 45 k autosomal SNPs, multivariate and univariate genome-wide association
analyses were performed. A total number of 50 markers were identified as common
between all analyses and these SNPs were co-localized on chromosome 4. Current
findings confirm previously reported findings for growth in ducks while proposing
novel genetic loci associated with feather development and growth in ducks
