Abstract: Selective breeding of meat pigeons is primarily based on growth traits, especially muscle mass (MM). Identification of functional genes and molecular markers of growth and slaughter traits through a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) will help to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms and provide a theoretical basis for the selective breeding of meat pigeons. The phenotypic data of body weight (BW) and body size (BS) of 556 meat pigeons at 52 and 80 weeks of age were collected. In total, 160 434 high‐… Show more
