Genomic prediction of survival time in a population of brown laying hens showing cannibalistic behavior
BACKGROUND: Mortality due to cannibalism causes both economic and welfare problems in laying hens. To limit mortality due to cannibalism, laying hens are often beak-trimmed, which is undesirable for animal welfare reasons. Genetic selection is an alternative strategy to increase survival and is more...
