Abstract:

We performed a genome wide association study for growth and feed efficiency using the GEMMA software on 679 rabbits genotyped with the Affimetrix Axiom Rabbit 200K Genotyping Array . No significant SNP was found for growth traits or feed intake. Two and 89 chromosome-wide significant SNPs were detected for feed conversion ratio and residual feed intake, respectively. The 89 significant SNPs for residual feed intake were all located on chromosome 18, where the putative functional candidate gene GOT1 could be identified.
