Abstract excerpt
The main objectives of this study were to estimate genetic parameters for the survival, longevity and evaluate risk factors for the occurrence of mortality in a Japanese quail line selected for high growth rate during the period from hatch to 21 days of age (GR1-21) for eight generations and its control. Total number of 1095, 2289 and 16,506 for sires, dams and progeny, respectively, was used to estimate genetic...
