Differential environmental effects on lesions, early growth, and mortality of imperfect albino (Sal-c) chicks.

Poultry science - 1 May 1992

Silversides F G, Mérat P, Coquerelle G

Abstract excerpt

A series of experiments investigated early pleiotropic effects of a gene for imperfect albinism (s(al-c) in a population of chickens at Jouy-en-Josas, France. An elevated incidence of lesions of the navel, hocks, and nares typical of imperfect albinos were seen on these chicks, confirming their existence in this population. Variations in hatching environment and the amount of light in the hatcher both implicated...
