The invention discloses a
molecular marker related to the feed conversion efficiency character of meat ducks and application thereof. The invention provides a method for detecting the feed conversionefficiency characters of ducks to be detected. The method comprises the following steps: the
genotype based on a specific SNP (
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) of the duck to be detected, the feed conversion efficiency of the AA
genotype duck to be detected is higher than that of the AC
genotype duck to be detected, and the feed conversion efficiency of the AC genotype duck to be detected is higherthan that of the CC genotype duck to be detected. On the basis of the genotype of the SNP site, the selection of the feed conversion efficiency characters can be realized, the feed conversion efficiency of the AA genotype duck is superior to that of the AC genotype duck and the CC genotype duck, and the feed conversion efficiency of the AC genotype duck is superior to that of the CC genotype duck. The
molecular marker disclosed by the invention has the beneficial effects that early selection for the feed conversion efficiency characters can be realized, the production cost can be saved, the genetic progress can be accelerated, the breeding of the ducks can be better served and the economic application value and the scientific research are very large.
