RESUMO

An F2 chicken population was developed by crossing a broiler sire line and a layer line, with the objective of mapping Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for performance and carcass traits. A total of 2,063 F2 chicks in 21 full-sib families from 17 hatches were reared as broilers and slaughtered at 6 weeks of age. Nineteen performance and carcass quality traits were measured. The genotyping was done in three phases: 1) A total of 80 microsatellite markers from chromosome 1 were tested in the parental and F1 individuals to identify informative markers. 2) Selective genotyping of F2 individuals, representing extreme phenotypes for body weight at 42 days of age (BW42), to identify regions potentially associated (P <0,10) with this trait. 3) Seven full-sib families (649 F2 chicks) were genotyped for 12 markers associated in phase 2 and for additional 14 flanking markers. Interval mapping using regression methods was applied to two different genetic models: 1) Line-cross; 2) Half-sib analyses for mapping QTL. Strong evidences for QTL affecting body weight, feed intake, feed conversion and weights of drums and thighs, breast, abdominal fat, liver, lung and heart were found on chromosome 1.
