Abstract
Chickens live weight values of line G2 in the age of 17, 21 and 27 weeks of life depending on the genotypes of MSTN and INS loci was analyzed. Chickens live weight on the 21th week of life was reliably higher (p≤0,05) for AG heterozygotes comparing to GG homozygotes of MSTN G2109A mutation on 8,1 %; to population mean value – on 5,3 %. There were no significant differences for INS A+3971G mutation.
