Abstract: The genomes of 500 individuals in F2 population of Recessive White Chicken and Xianju Chicken were screened using 26 microsatellite markers. The correlation between microsatellite markers and meat quality traits in chickens were analyzed. The results showed that: ADL212 on chromosome 2 was significantly associated with pH value and tenderness. MCW004 on chromosome 3 and MCW223 on chromosome 5 were significantly associated with meat color. Four microsatellite markers were significantly associated with water lost rate, they were: MCW264 and ADL212 on chromosome 2, MCW223 on chromosome 5 and ADL211 on chromosome 9.
