THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON ASCITES WHICH AFFECTS BROILER-TYPE CHICKENS. ALTHOUGH ASCITES CAN BE CONTROLLED THROUGH MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, ASCITES REMAINS A WORLD-WIDE PROBLEM IN THE BROILER INDUSTRY RESULTING IN LOSSES IN THE RANGE OF $100 MILLION ANNUALLY. FROM OUR PREVIOUS NIFA FUNDING WE HAVE IDENTIFIED 31 GENE REGIONS, THROUGH HIGH-THROUGHPUT GENOME SEQUENCING, THAT SHOW ASSOCIATION WITH THE DISEASE IN OUR BROILER ASCITES RESEARCH LINE. NONE OF THESE REGIONS HAD BEEN FOUND PREVIOUSLY USING SEVER
