The 441 bp segment of the PRL gene was amplified from the genomic DNA samples derived from total of 225 ducks (111 TB and 114 BT), and the PCR-RFLP technique to examine the genetic variations in the PRL gene among individuals. The restriction enzyme, XbaI, was digested to cleave the 441-bp PCR products and revealed the TT, TG, and GG genotypes. The TT genotype was most preva...
