Variance components and selection response for feather-pecking behavior in laying hens.

Poultry science - 1 Jan 2005

Su G, Kjaer J B, Sørensen P

Abstract excerpt

Variance components and selection response for feather pecking behavior were studied by analyzing the data from a divergent selection experiment. An investigation indicated that a Box-Cox transformation with power lambda = -0.2 made the data approximately normally distributed and gave the best fit for the model. Variance components and selection response were estimated using Bayesian analysis with Gibbs sampling...
