Abstract excerpt
In a comparative study the influences were tested of the origins NWR (normal-growth White Rocks) and ZWR (dwarf-growth White Rocks) with a speed for slow (K) and fast (k) feathering as well as the effect of a high environmental temperature (UT, 32 +/- 2.5 degrees C) on the fattening and slaughtering performance of male broilers and their meat quality.
