The aim of this study was to determine the gene effect of Growth Hormone (GH) on divergent selection of Japanese quail. Quails were grouped into high weight (Q-H), low weight (Q-L) and random weight (Q- R) females as a treatment for divergent selection. Parameter phenotype observed in each generati...
