Residual feed consumption in laying hens. 1. Quantification of phenotypic variation and repeatabilities.

Poultry science - 1 Aug 1991

Luiting P, Urff E M

Abstract excerpt

A large fraction (on average, 25%) of the variance of daily feed consumption among individual laying hens appears unaccounted for by a model with metabolic body weight, daily egg mass production, and body weight gain as independent variables. This unexplained term is referred to as "residual feed consumption" (RFC), defined operationally as the difference between the observed feed consumption of a hen and its...
