Genomic selection brings more genetic progress

Selecting the parents for the next generation of layers quicker and more accurately? It is possible, thanks to genomic selection. By Hans Bijleveld What is the connection between poultry breeding and drawing blood samples from birds? Red blood cells have the hereditary (genetic) information of an animal stored in its DNA, just like it is in the cells of all other body parts. The new technique, called genomic selection, can read the genetic information and thereby learn a lot about the character
