ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to chicken growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), its corresponding receptor, and nucleic acid sequences encoding these proteins. More particularly the present invention is directed to the use of the chicken GHRH hormone and its corresponding GHRH receptor to enhance the production of larger, leaner chickens and other avian species used for meat production.
