Selection for juvenile body weight in chickens: Standardizing for scaling.

Poultry science - 1 Aug 2017

Abstract excerpt

The influence of scaling on phenotypic responses to long-term selection was evaluated in lines of chickens selected for high (HWS) and low (LWS) 8-week body weight. The focus of the experiment was on phenotypic correlations between means and standard deviations, and unadjusted vs. standardized responses. Traits measured were body weight at 4 (BW4) and 8 wk (BW8). Correlations between means and standard deviations...
