Genetic variation in pure lines and crosses of large-bodied turkey lines. 3. Growth-related measurements on live birds.

Poultry science - 1 Sept 2005

Nestor K E, Anderson J W, Velleman S G

Abstract excerpt

An experimental line (F) selected over 34 generations for increased 16-wk BW was reciprocally crossed with a primary breeding sire line (C) from a large international turkey breeder to study the inheritance of growth-related traits measured on live birds. All genetic groups were grown intermingled in confinement with sexes reared in different houses. The traits measured included BW at 8, 16, and 20 wk of age and...
