Abstract excerpt
Salmonellosis is a zoonotic disease that is problematic for both animal production and food safety. A novel genetic cross, named the Iowa Salmonella response resource population (ISRRP), was established to elucidate the genetic control of resistance to Salmonella enteritidis (SE) colonization in young chicks, to characterize unique resistance alleles, and to estimate gene interaction effects. Outbred broiler...
