In this study, it was aimed to determine the polymorphism of GH (growth hormone) gene in Japanese quails and the relationships between these genes and body weight and carcass traits. 3 genotypes (AA, AB and BB), 2 (A and B) alleles were detected by cutting the GH intron 1 region with restriction enzyme MspI. As a result of variance analysis, it was determined that the hatching weights of the animals with B allele and liver weights were higher. Thus, it is seen that GH gene and PCR-RFLP technique can be used in breeding studies.Downloads
