CLEANF npip! ^H^IPB^pV BJ B* The National Poultry Improvement Plan became operative July 1, 1935, and the National Turkey Improvement Plan became operative September 25, 1943, with the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture. On December 3, 1971, the two Plans were combined under one title, "The National Poultry Improvement Plan," with separate provisions applicable to the different types of poultry. The Plan operates under the authority of an appropriation made by Congress to the United States Department of Agriculture to be used in cooperation with the State authorities in the administration of regulations for the improvement of poultry, poultry products, and hatcheries. Authority for the administration of the Plan is now contained in the Department of Agriculture Organic Act of 1944, as amended (7 U.S.C. 429). Provisions of the Plan are changed from time to time to conform with the development of the industry and with new information as it becomes available. These changes are based on recommendations made at the Biennial National Plan Conferences by official delegates representing participating breeders, hatcheries, and flockowners from all cooperating States. Current provisions of the Plan are described in a publication entitled "The National Poultry Improvement Plan and Auxiliary Provisions." The publication is available from Official State Agencies or on request to the National Poultry Improvement Plan, APHIS-VS, Building 265, BARC- East, Beltsville, Maryland 20705.

  • Genome-Wide SNP Scan of Pooled DNA Reveals
    Wells et al. BMC Genomics 2012, 13:257 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/13/257 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome-wide SNP scan of pooled DNA reveals nonsense mutation in FGF20 in the scaleless line of featherless chickens Kirsty L Wells1, Yair Hadad2, Danny Ben-Avraham2, Jossi Hillel2, Avigdor Cahaner2* and Denis J Headon1* Abstract Background: Scaleless (sc/sc) chickens carry a single recessive mutation that causes a lack of almost all body feathers, as well as foot scales and spurs, due to a failure of skin patterning during embryogenesis. This spontaneous mutant line, first described in the 1950s, has been used extensively to explore the tissue interactions involved in ectodermal appendage formation in embryonic skin. Moreover, the trait is potentially useful in tropical agriculture due to the ability of featherless chickens to tolerate heat, which is at present a major constraint to efficient poultry meat production in hot climates. In the interests of enhancing our understanding of feather placode development, and to provide the poultry industry with a strategy to breed heat-tolerant meat-type chickens (broilers), we mapped and identified the sc mutation. Results: Through a cost-effective and labour-efficient SNP array mapping approach using DNA from sc/sc and sc/+ blood sample pools, we map the sc trait to chromosome 4 and show that a nonsense mutation in FGF20 is completely associated with the sc/sc phenotype. This mutation, common to all sc/sc individuals and absent from wild type, is predicted to lead to loss of a highly conserved region of the FGF20 protein important for FGF signalling.

    ! Master’s Thesis 2017 60 ECTS ! Department of Animal and Aquacultural Sciences ! Genetic diversity in five chicken lines from the Norwegian live poultry gene bank! Cathrine Brekke! Animal Science! ! ! Forord Denne oppgaven ble skrevet våren 2017 og er avsluttende arbeid på en 5-årig mastergrad i husdyrvitenskap ved institutt for husdyr- og akvakulturvitenskap ved Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige universitet. Det er en oppgave innen avl og genetikk, som er det fagområdet jeg har valgt å fordype meg i. Jeg har likt godt å fordype meg i én problemstilling og har lært mye det siste året, både faglig og teknisk. Jeg vil gjerne takke hovedveilederen min Theo Meuwissen for god veiledning og hjelp med koder og programvarer. Takk for lærerike diskusjoner om metoder og resultater. I tillegg vil jeg takke Peer Berg for god faglig veiledning og for at jeg fikk jobbe med ett av deres prosjekter ved NordGen. Takk for nyttige tilbakemeldinger på oppgaven. En stor takk går også til Linn Groeneveld som har sittet mange timer og hjulpet meg med datamaterialet og alltid vært tilgjengelig for spørsmål og veiledning av skrivearbeidet. Tusen takk! Til slutt vil jeg gjerne takke Martine Cornelia Franck for grafisk hjelp og Nikolai Aksnes for viktig hjelp med programmering. Ås, mai 2017 Cathrine Brekke ! 1! !
