Higher heritabilities for gait components than for overall gait scores may improve mobility in ducks.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 2 May 2017

Duggan Brendan M, Rae Anne M, Clements Dylan N, Hocking Paul M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic progress in selection for greater body mass and meat yield in poultry has been associated with an increase in gait problems which are detrimental to productivity and welfare. The incidence of suboptimal gait in breeding flocks is controlled through the use of a visual gait score, which is a subjective assessment of walking ability of each bird. The subjective nature of the visual gait score...
