Abstract:A study was conducted on the effect of gene polymorphism of Insulin like Growth Factor-1 (IGFI) on egg quality traits in three chicken genotypes. A total of 250 chicken comprising 150 FUNAAB-Alpha (50 Normal feather, 50 Naked neck and 50 Frizzle feather), 50 Kuroiler and 50 Sasso were used for this experiment. At point of lay, 30 hens per genotype were selected and transferred into a battery cage of one unit per bird. Data was collected on the egg quality traits, 30 eggs for each genotype was collected.
