GENETIC DISTANCE BETWEEN SELECTED BREEDS AND LINES OF LAYING HENS

Antoni Brodacki, Grzegorz Zięba, Katarzyna Cywa–Benko

 

ABSTRACT



The investigations were aimed at the determination of genetic distance among eight lines of laying hens kept in Poland and belonging to the following breeds: Green–Leg ZKF and Z11, Leghorn H22 and G99, Rhode Island Red RD2, Yellow–Leg Ż33, Polbar (Pb) and Sussex (Sx). The phenotype frequencies of fast–migrating prealbumin (Pa–F), egg–yolk transferrin and ovalbumin (Ov–A), ovoglobulins: G3, G4 and G2 and conalbumin were obtained from the electrophoregrams of horizontal polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Key words: hens, protein polymorphism, genetic distance.
