Abstract
The experiment was conducted on inbred progeny to confirm the inheritance
of IGF-I, IGF-II, GH and TGF-β3 gene polymorphism and their effect and association
with feed consumption and egg production. A parent generation Synthetic White
Leghorn population, which was categorized into four different groups viz. High feed
consumption and High egg production (HH), Low feed consumption and High egg
production (LH), High feed consumption and Low egg production (HL), Low feed
consumption and Low egg production (LL) to find out the effect of IGF-I, IGF-II,
GH and TGF-β3 gene polymorphism on feed consumption and egg production. This
parent generation population was further propagated by mating between halfsib or
fullsib to produce the next generation inbred progeny. These inbred progenies were
identified according to their dam’s group viz. HH, LH, HL and LL.
