Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In broiler breeding, genotype-by-environment interaction is known to result in a genetic correlation between body weight measured in bio-secure and commercial environments that is substantially less than 1. Thus, measuring body weights on sibs of selection candidates in a commercial environment and genotyping them could increase genetic progress. Using real data, the aim of this study was to evaluate...
