Genetic Diversity of 17 Autochthonous Italian Chicken Breeds and Their Extinction Risk Status

The preservation of genetic variability of autochthonous poultry breeds is crucial in global biodiversity. A recent report revealed small breed size and potential risk of extinction of all native Italian poultry breeds; therefore, a correct assessment of their genetic diversity is necessary for a su...
