Abstract
Chickens of a commercial pure White Leghorn line were typed for B-F an d B-G by serological, biochemical and molecular biological methods. Am ongst 287 typed animals of one particular line, three animals with rec ombinant haplotypes were identified. Compared to earlier reports this revealed a statistically significant (P < 0.05), tenfold higher recomb ination frequency in this chicken line.
