Research Note: Analysis of body weight and walking ability in turkeys and the prediction of categorical responses across systematic effect classes using a linear threshold model

ABSTRACT: Heavy selection for growth in turkeys has led to a decay in leg soundness and walking ability. In this study, different models and traits were used to investigate the genetic relationships between body weight (BW) and walking ability (WA) in a turkey population. The data consisted of BW an...
