Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of molecular biology technology, and in particular relates to a molecular biological identification method and its application for different small white-feathered broiler chickens. Background Technology

[0002] In my country, broiler chickens are mainly divided into three categories: white-feathered broilers (also known as fast-growing white-feathered broilers), yellow-feathered broilers, and small white-feathered broilers. Among them, small white-feathered broilers are bred through crossbreeding of parent roosters (white-feathered broilers) with high-yielding brown-shelled laying hens. This model effectively combines the dual advantages of the "rapid" growth of white-feathered broilers and the "high" egg production of commercial brown-shelled laying hens. It features low breeding costs, high production efficiency, strong adaptability, and suitability for slaughtering and processing, thus rapidly expanding its market share and capturing a portion of the market originally belonging to yellow-feathered broilers.

[0003] Currently, the annual output of small white-feathered broiler chickens is approximately 2.5 billion, making them an indispensable and important category in my country's broiler industry. Driven by consumption upgrades and improved cold chain logistics, the market entry of chilled broiler chickens has accelerated significantly. Among them, small white-feathered broiler chickens, with their higher slaughtering and processing efficiency, better end-user adaptability, and cost-effectiveness, will see their market advantages become increasingly prominent. The surge in market demand has led to a shortage of parent stock roosters. Some companies are using female parent stock roosters as a substitute, producing small white-feathered broiler chickens (hereinafter referred to as M-type small white chickens, such as...) produced from these female roosters. Figure 2 As shown, the growth rate and feed conversion efficiency of F-type broiler chickens produced by breeding roosters are lower than those of small white-feathered broilers (hereinafter referred to as F-type broilers). Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this has caused some market chaos.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fast, accurate, and easy-to-operate technology to identify different small white-feathered broiler chickens, so as to ensure the orderly, healthy, and stable development of my country's small white-feathered broiler chicken industry.
