| Research Abstract |
Association between genetic polymorphisms of delta 6 desaturase gene and arachidonic acid content of thigh meat of Hinai-jidori and broiler chickens was elucidated. Single nucleotide polymorphism (A or G) found in the promoter region of delta 6 desaturase gene was associated with arachidonic acid content of thigh meat in the chickens and arachidonic acid content of the G allele was significantly higher than that of the A allele.
