The present study was conducted on indigenous chicken breed Tellicherry inhabiting both Western Ghats and coastal Kerala. These birds are known to be resistant to a variety of infections and at the same time produce good quality meat. It was proposed to analyze association of an immune related gene in this breed with important layer traits. Allele specific PCR was carried out in the selected Tellicherry chicken population and the relationship with layer production traits was analyzed. From the present study, it was observed that MHC haplotype B2 was associated with higher body weight on 1st day and 16th week as well as with high egg number. At the same time, B15 haplotype was associated with high egg number and low age at first egg. Because of significant association, this marker could be used for selection of indigenous chicken.
