Effect of reciprocal Corona × Consort mating direction on hatchability and Corona/Consort phenotype distribution in Gloster canaries under ad libitum commercial feeding: a retrospective breeder registry analysis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Corona (crested) × Consort (non-crested) mating is a routine and biologically important pairing strategy in Gloster canary breeding. Although reciprocal use of the same phenotypes is common in practice, the extent to which mating direction is associated with hatchability and offspring Corona/Consort distribution has received limited formal evaluation under breeder conditions. METHODS: A retrospective...
