Abstract

Currently, there is virtually no information on genetic factorsaffecting the yield of allanto-amniotic fluid, which is the raw materialfor the production of human and animal vaccines. Association studiesincluding this trait are beneficial for increasing productivity of abiotechnological line of chickens used for the production of ‘CleanEggs’. We examined here a population of the Russian White breedfor the effects of indels in the prolactin (PRL) and dopamine receptorD2 (DRD2) genes on the yield of extraembryonic fluid (YEF) andembryo weight at 12.5 days of development. A 24-bp insertion in the5' flanking region of the PRL gene significantly (P
