Abstract: The main reason to carry out the present study was to detect SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) in the coding sections of the genes GHSR, SALL3, and PRLHR and to evaluate their relationship with the chicken egg production at the age of 64 weeks. Egg production data and amplicon data of 48 ABWLH and 48 ASWLH were obtained and analysed. Total 69 SNPs (46 previously published and 23 novel) were found in 96 samples. As per the association study, rs316357564 and rs317267520 of the GHSR can be used as selection markers linked to egg number 64 in chickens.
