Genetic properties of feed efficiency parameters in meat-type chickens.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 29 Jun 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Feed cost constitutes about 70% of the cost of raising broilers, but the efficiency of feed utilization has not kept up the growth potential of today's broilers. Improvement in feed efficiency would reduce the amount of feed required for growth, the production cost and the amount of nitrogenous waste. We studied residual feed intake (RFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) over two age periods to...
