Genotype-by-environment interaction with broiler genotypes differing in growth rate: 2. The effects of high ambient temperature on dwarf versus normal broilers.

Poultry science - 1 May 2001

Abstract excerpt

High ambient temperatures (AT) reduce feed consumption (FC) and BW in broilers, thereby leading to lower efficiency and profitability of poultry meat production in hot climates. These negative effects have been found to be more pronounced in chicken lines with high BW. The effects of high AT were investigated in a broiler population segregating for the Dw gene and, thus, consisting of normal-sized and dwarf...
