Genetics of growth and reproduction in the Turkey. 17. Changes in genetic parameters over forty generations of selection for increased sixteen-week body weight.

Poultry science - 1 Oct 2008

Nestor K E, Anderson J W, Patterson R A, Velleman S G

Abstract excerpt

A line (F) of turkeys was selected over 40 generations for increased 16-wk BW. The base population for the F line was a randombred control population that was maintained without conscious selection and used to remove yearly environmental variation in the F line. Selection was effective in increasing 16-wk BW in the F line. Selection differentials based on the mean of the selected parents minus the mean of the...
