Abstract

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) which is a growth hormone plays a major role in stimulating systemic body growth, regulating cells growth and development. The IGF-1 gene sequences were analysed and the polymorphism among the chicken strain was studied. Higher polymorphism was observed in normal feather chicken compared to Arbor Acre. The result showed that the highest number of haplotype (4) and haplotype diversity (0.638) were estimated in normal feather chicken. This shows there is abundance of genetic diversity in this strain of chicken compared to Arbor Acre. The highest average number of polymorphism sites (61), nucleotide diversity (0.017443) and singleton site (60) was also estimated in normal feather chicken. This suggests that this strain of chicken has been subjected to lots of natural selection.
