Development of Microsatellite Marker System to Determine the Genetic Diversity of Experimental Chicken, Duck, Goose, and Pigeon Populations

Table 13

Comparison of mean observed allele number, mean effective allele number, mean Shannon’s index, and mean effective heterozygosity among the outbred colonies of ducks.

Colonies	Mean observed number of alleles	Mean effective number of alleles	Mean Shannon’s information index	Mean effective heterozygosity
1	6.320	3.518	1.410	0.685
JD	5.280	3.466	1.335	0.680
