Direct and correlated responses to multitrait, divergent selection for immunocompetence.

Poultry science - 1 Jan 1994

Kean R P, Cahaner A, Freeman A E, Lamont S J

Abstract excerpt

Leghorn lines had been selected for an immunocompetence index based on four traits: antibody production to Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and Pasteurella multocida (PM) vaccines, reticuloendothelial clearance of colloidal carbon (CCA), and cell-mediated, wing web response to phytohemagglutinin (PHA). The purpose of this study was to produce replicated lines of chickens with divergent levels of multitrait...
