The results showed that three genotypes were found on A2032G in 15 breeds of chicken, which were AA, AG, GG and AA genotype was not found in Luyuan, Langshan chicken and Zhongyuan Game chicken, as GG genotype did in Chahua chicken and Red Jungle Fowl. The average frequency of resistance gene (A) and sensitive gene (G) was 0.350 and 0.650, respectively. However, the frequency of A alleles had a wide rangeability from 0.034-0.984 and the results of χ2-test indicated that Mx gene in all populations was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. ER -
