Abstract
The Ac chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus Brisson) is commonly raised alongside other domestic chicken breeds in the Mekong Delta region. This study was conducted to analyze the impact of INHA/PstI and VIPR1/HhaI polymorphisms on the reproductive characteristics of this breed. A total of 380 Ac hens from 16-40 weeks of age were used, each placed in a separate cage for data collection . DNA isolation was performed using feather samples, and genotypes were detected by applying the PCR-RFLP technique . Two polymorphisms were identified , namely C829T (INHA /PstI) in exon 1 of the INHA gene an d C429 13T (VIP R1/HhaI) in intron 6 of th e V IPR1 ge ne .At both site s, two po lymo rphism s d id not follow the Hardy -Weinberg e quilibr ium . The IN HA /PstI and VIP R 1/Hh a I po lymo rphism s demo nstrated a statist ically significant association with the tota l number of eggs pro duce d and the la ying r ate (p<0.0 5). S pec ifically , he ns with TT genotype (INHA/PstI ) had the highest egg p rodu ction (7 2.4 eggs /he n/24 laying week s ). In contras t , thos e with t he CC genotype produced approximately 9 fewer eg gs (63.2 eggs /h en ), resu lting in layi ng rates of 4 5.2% and 40 .3%, re specti vel y .Additionally , the INHA/PstI polymorphisms sho wed a notab le and significan t associ at ion with the average age of the first egg (p<0.05). In conclusion , to enhance egg prod uction in Ac ch ickens th roug h selective breeding, it is rec ommended to prioritize the use of birdswith the TT genotype at the INH A/Pst I locu s.
