Carcass traits are crucial characteristics of broilers. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms are not well understood. In the current study, significant loci and major-effect candidate genes affecting nine carcass traits related to meat production were analyzed in 873 purebred broilers using an imputation-based genome-wide association study. The heritability estimates of nine carcass traits, including carcass weight, thigh muscle weight, and thigh muscle percentage, were moderate to high and ranged from 0.21 to 0.39.
