Abstract excerpt
1. The present study examined the bone strength and apparent mineral metabolisability of a selected broiler chicken compared with those of a relatively unselected genotype. 2. Selected (SB) and unselected genotypes (UB) were reared under standard conditions and were fed on either a high quality (HQ) or a low quality (LQ) diet. Tibiotarsi samples were collected at 42 d from SB and compared to tibiotarsi from UB of...
