Genetic parameters and signatures of selection in two divergent laying hen lines selected for feather pecking behaviour

BACKGROUND: Feather pecking (FP) in laying hens is a well-known and multi-factorial behaviour with a genetic background. In a selection experiment, two lines were developed for 11 generations for high (HFP) and low (LFP) feather pecking, respectively. Starting with the second generation of selection...
