Selection strategies for limiting the increase in ascites while increasing growth in broilers.

Poultry science - 1 Jun 2002

McMillan I, Quinton V M

Abstract excerpt

The objective of the current study was to compare the changes in a fitness trait when selection is performed for 5, 10, and 20 generations on a production trait that influenced its expression. Responses to single-trait selection for growth based on phenotype or animal model predictions were compared by computer simulation. Two-trait index selection was performed when a trait, related to the fitness trait, was...
