Abstract: In present study，8 populations (including 5 pure lines and 3 crossbreeds developed by Dahen Poultry Breeding Company and Sichuan Animal Science Academy) were used to analyze MC3R gene polymorphism by PCRSSCP．Result indicated that there was one mutation sites in 8 populations (A 1424 G). The statistics analysis results showed that the MC3R polymorphism was no significant difference for SEP and LMP trait (P>0.05), while there were significant difference (P<0.05) and high significant difference (P<0.01) for other slaughter traits. In addition, the significant difference of CP and IMF value were also observed only at meat quality traits (P<0.05).
