Markers that were associated with carcass traits; carcass traits are presented as least squares mean ± SEM. YB stands for Yellow Bantam. WWR stands for wing weight ratio; SWR stands for shank bone weight ratio; FC stands for femoral circumference; stands for lightness of breast muscle; SL stands for shank length; GWR stands for gizzard weight ratio.
