Genetic analysis of leg problems and growth in a random mating broiler population.

Poultry science - 1 Feb 2015

González-Cerón F, Rekaya R, Anthony N B, Aggrey S E

Abstract excerpt

Improvement in growth has been widely reported as the cause of increased incidence of leg problems in broiler chickens. We report herein the genetic relationship between growth and leg problems in a random mating broiler control population. The traits studied were valgus (VL), varus (VR), and tib...
