Leveraging ultrasonic-derived phenotypes and estimated breeding value to improve abdominal fat weight prediction in chickens throughout the egg laying period

Leveraging ultrasonic-derived phenotypes and estimated breeding value to improve abdominal fat weight prediction in chickens throughout the egg laying period

Abdominal fat (AF) in hens impacts egg production and may reflect poor feed efficiency, meaning that dynamic monitor of AF changes facilitate to optimize feeding management and production efficiency. This study estimated hens’ AF weight among whole laying period through fitting vivo phenotypes by te...
