A NEW PRIMER SET FOR IDENTIFYING FATTY ACID COMPOSITION IN BROILER CHICKEN AND A METHOD OF SELECTING CHICKEN BY USING THE SAID PRIMER SET

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for analyzing SNP of SCD(Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase) gene of a chicken is provided to produce and select high quality chickens, to improve farm income, and to increase sales. CONSTITUTION: A method for selecting a chicken with higher unsaturated fatty acid content than a chicken with heterozygous genotype at 2nd exon of chicken SCD gene comprises: a step of collecting a DNA sample from the chicken; a step of amplifying the DNA sample using the primer set of sequence numbers 1 and 2; a step of treating the amplified product with Acil; and a step of performing electrophoresis and identifying whether SNP of the 2nd exon of SCD is a homozygous genotype.
