Long-term Divergent Selection for 8-week Body Weight in Chickens – a Review of Experiments
In order to study the effects of long-term selection on genetic parameters, the effect of selection on selected and correlated traits and to develop lines for various physiological, biochemical and molecular genetic studies a comprehensive selection study for body weight in chickens has been conducted at the Biotechnical Faculty of University in Ljubljana. Long-term divergent selection in chick...
متن کاملAmino acid requirements of broiler breeders at peak production for egg mass, body weight, and fertility.
Two trials were conducted to determine the amino acid and protein requirements of broiler breeders at peak production. In trial 1, 32-wk-old Cobb 500 broiler breeders with similar BW were selected to determine the digestible amino acid requirement for daily product output (g of egg mass + g of BW gain/b/d) and feed conversion (g of feed/g of product) for Met, Phe, Arg, Ile, Lys, and CP in a 42-...
متن کاملGenetic mapping of quantitative trait loci affecting body weight, egg character and egg production in F2 intercross chickens.
Phenotypic measurements of chicken egg character and production traits are restricted to mature females only. Marker assisted selection of immature chickens using quantitative trait loci (QTL) has the potential to accelerate the genetic improvement of these traits in the chicken population. The QTL for 12 traits (i.e. body weight (BW), six for egg character, three for egg shell colour and two f...
متن کاملEarlier hatching time predisposes Cobb broiler chickens to tibial dyschondroplasia.
Fertile eggs from Cobb 500 broiler breeder hens were incubated to provide low starting egg shell temperatures (EST; 36.9°C to 37.3°C) which were gradually increased to 37.8°C during the first 7 to 15 days of incubation compared with eggs incubated with a constant EST of 37.8°C (standard conditions) over the first 18 days of incubation. Time of individual chick hatching (measured at 6 h interval...
متن کاملEffect of Hatching Egg Size on Hatchability and Chick Hatch-weight of Indigenous Venda Chickens
An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of hatching egg size on hatchability and hatch-weight of indigenous Venda chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). Three different egg size groups classified into small: (<49 g) medium: (50-59 g) and large:(60-69 g) were used in the experiment. A complete randomized design was used for the experiment. Simultaneously a quadratic type equation was u...
