Predicted response in food conversion ratio for growth by selection on the ratio or on linear component traits, in a (sequential) selection programme.

British poultry science - 1 May 1996

Koerhuis A N, Hill W G

Abstract excerpt

1. Direct versus indirect selection for food conversion ratio of growth (FCR) after selection for live body weight (LWT), a sequential scheme often applied in broilers, was considered. In the present study loss of response in either FCR or aggregate genotype (H) when LWT was included was investigated under selection on a linear index of ratio component traits (and LWT) or FCR (and LWT) by selection index...
