Abstract: The formation mechanism underlying the blue eggshell characteristic has been discovered in birds, and SLCO1B3 is the key gene that regulates the blue eggshell color. Insertion of an endogenous retrovirus, EAV-HP, in the SLCO1B3 5′ flanking region promotes SLCO1B3 expression in the chicken shell gland, and this expression causes bile salts to enter the shell gland, where biliverdin is secreted into the eggshell, forming a blue shell. However, … Show more

“…The results showed that LS chickens might undergo different selection pressure during evolutionary processes compared with other chickens. Interestingly, the LS chicken is the only breed that can produce blue eggs among these breeds [24]. The body weight of chickens is a heritable trait with approximately 0.24-0.47% heritability during growth [25].…”
