Genetic aspects of feed efficiency and reduction of environmental footprint in broilers: a review.

Journal of applied genetics - 1 Nov 2017

Sell-Kubiak Ewa, Wimmers Klaus, Reyer Henry, Szwaczkowski Tomasz

Abstract excerpt

Currently, optimization of feed efficiency is one of the main challenges in improvement programs of livestock and poultry genetics. The objective of this review is to present the genetic aspects of feed efficiency related traits in meat-type chicken and possible ways to reduce the environmental impact of poultry meat production with effective breeding. Basic measures of feed efficiency are defined and the genetic...
