Relationships between genetic, environmental and nutritional factors influencing osteoporosis in laying hens.

British poultry science - 1 Dec 2006

Fleming R H, McCormack H A, McTeir L, Whitehead C C

Abstract excerpt

1. The effects upon bone quality of feeding limestone in flour or particulate form and housing type (cage or aviary) in lines of hens divergently selected for high (H) or low (L) bone strength over 7 generations were investigated. 2. As in previous generations, highly significant phenotypic differences between lines were observed in all measured bone traits at peak egg production (25 weeks) and towards the end of...
