Abstract excerpt

An experimental line (F) of turkeys was reciprocally crossed with sire lines (designated A and B) from each of two commercial breeders in order to study the inheritance of carcass traits and body shape. The birds were weighed and killed at 17 wk of age, and various measurements of muscling, leg bones, and body shape were made. Additive genetic variation, as indicated by line differences, was an important source...
