Selection response and genetic parameter estimation of feeding behavior traits in Pekin ducks

Selection response and genetic parameter estimation of feeding behavior traits in Pekin ducks

Body weight–related traits and feeding behavior traits are important in poultry breeding and production. To investigate the heritability of feeding behavior and their genetic correlation with body weight–related traits in Pekin ducks, 5,594 Pekin ducks were selected. The information about body weigh...
