Résumé
In the past 50 years, there has been a steep increase in the demand for poultry products, met by increasing production along with genetic selection for improved growth, efficiency, health and reproduction. The selection tends to reduce the number and type of genetic resources contributing to the majority of production. The University of Alberta maintains 10 heritage chicken lines (Brown Leghorn (BL), Light Sussex (LS), New Hampshire (NH), Saskatchewan Barred Rock (SaskBR), Shaver Barred Rock (ShaverBR), Shaver Rhode Island Red (RIR), White Leghorn (WL) and three commercial crosses called Alberta Meat Control strains 1957 (AMC-1957), 1978 sire line (AMC-1978-20S) and 1978 dam line (AMC-1978-30D), that played a large role in the evolution of the poultry industry in Canada. Since these lines have not been subjected to the same intensive selection pressures as commercial counterparts, they may contain unique genetic variants lost in commercial lines. Thus, for conservation management of these lines, the first step is to assess their genetic diversity. 71 male samples from across 10 lines were analysed using whole-genome sequencing and patterns of genetic diversity and relatedness among these lines were explored. AMC-1978-30D showed the highest genetic diversity as reflected in observed and expected heterozygosity (0.327 and 0.250), percentage of polymorphic markers (~ 65%) and average recent inbreeding coefficient (-0.039), followed by AMC-1978-20S and AMC-1957. BL showed the lowest genetic diversity as reflected in observed and expected heterozygosity (0.130 and 0.116), percentage of polymorphic markers (~31%) and average recent inbreeding coefficient (0.577), followed by LS, WL and NH. Our findings highlight the need for special attention for the populations of BL, WL, LS and NH, with the largest levels of inbreeding. Our results can be used to develop a breeding strategy to optimize and conserve the genetic variation present in heritage lines.
