Box 375, Pietermaritzburg, 3200 Republic of South Africa Since poultry breeding started in earnest over 50 years ago there have been considerable environmental changes in the industry, some beneficial (improved disease control, housing, nutrition, lighting) and some deleterious (increased stocking rates, large...

Poultry Genetic Resources and Conservation Biology

Recent generations of poultry students and poultry specialists generally seem to lack awareness of the vast genetic diversity which has accumulated in the domestic birds. This diversity has tended to become segregated within the realms of special purpose and special group such as industrial breeders and producers. There are many variants and variation in relation to species, body systems, and p...

Poultry Breeding: Progress and Prospects for Genetic

Estimates of genetic gains and present performance of layers and broilers were reviewed Current and developing technologies pertinent to the breeding of layers and broilers were discussed with some of their assumptions and limitations. Under present methods, contemporary theory and selection technologies are critiqued Under developing technologies, selection for adaptation to production environ...
