Abstract excerpt
Heritability (h2) of 16-wk BW and primary and secondary antibody responses and genetic and phenotypic correlations among these traits were estimated for 931 male and female turkeys vaccinated with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and Pasteurella multocida. Turkeys from a line selected for 22 or 23 generations for increased 16-wk BW were vaccinated at 6 and 12 wk of age with blood samples collected 3 wk...
