Divergent selection for shape of growth curve in Japanese quail. 1. Responses in growth parameters and food conversion

Original language description

HG and LG quail lines selected for high and low relative weight gain between 11 and 28 d of age (RG) and an unselected C line were compared. Mature body weight of both selected lines was held at that of the C line. Progeny of generation 6 were used for analysis. Divergent selection for RG brought about opposite changes in the growth rate shortly after hatching. Parameters of the Richards function were used to describe the growth curve. The largest differences between HG and LG lines occurred in age andn age and body weight at the inflection point of the growth curve. The food/gain ratios for the fattening period (3 to 35 d of age) were 3.21, 3.47 and 3.34 for the HG, LG and C lines, respectively.
