Genetic variation in pure lines and crosses of large-bodied turkeys. 4. Body shape and carcass traits.

Poultry science - 1 Dec 2005

Nestor K E, Anderson J W, Hartzler D, Velleman S G

Abstract excerpt

An experimental line (F) of turkeys selected long-term for increased 16-wk BW was reciprocally crossed with a primary breeding sire line (C) from a major international turkey breeder to study the inheritance of carcass traits and body shape. The birds were weighed and killed at 16 wk of age, and various measurements of muscling, leg bones, and body shape were made. The BW of males were 16.0 and 15.1 kg,...
