Abstract excerpt
Accurate genetic parameters are crucial for predicting breeding values and selection responses in breeding programs. Genetic parameters change with selection, reducing additive genetic variance and changing genetic correlations. This study investigates the dynamic changes in genetic parameters for residual feed intake (RFI), gain (GAIN), breast percentage (BP), and femoral head necrosis (FHN) in a broiler...
