About this Event
Modern broilers have been selected for growth, yield and feed efficiency. A negative relationship between growth and reproductive performance in poultry has been well established. Feed restriction programs have been implemented to support reproductive performance in broiler breeders. Join us March 2 as we hear from Dr. Valerie Carney and the results of a study that investigated the evolution of maternal feed restriction practices over 60 years of selection for broiler productivity.
