Genetic background of body reserves in laying hens through backfat thickness phenotyping

Genetic background of body reserves in laying hens through backfat thickness phenotyping

In this study, we pursued three primary objectives: firstly to test and validate the phenotyping of backfat thickness as an indicator of the overall fatness of laying hens; secondly, to estimate genetic parameters for this trait; thirdly, to study the phenotypic and genetic relationships between thi...
