Early Feathering
And Rapid Growth
Related, JUL Says

Broiler growers should welcome
the news that early feathering and
rapid growth are related because it
means that selecting to improve one
character will automatically tend
to improve the other character.
Early feathering is important be-
cause it means fewer visible pin
feathers at marketing time. This
factor is especially important since
more broilers than ever are sold at
an earlier age and more of them
are sold to consumers in cut-up
form, ready for broiling or frying.
Except for disease outbreak of
epidemic proportions, rapid growth
is the single most important factor
affecting efficiency of feed CONVEX
sion in chicken-meat production.
DR.. Morley A. JUL, head of the
University of Maryland Poultry de-
partment, points out that six or
more well developed secondaries
at Matching time serve as a reliable
index of early feathering.
Only early-feathering chicks
should be selected for future breed
ing purposes, he said. The most
practical time for selecting for
rapid growth is at about 10 weeks
of age. Then the largest birds
should be picked for future breed
ing purposes. Individual selection
for both traits is satisfactory be-
cause both traits are highly herit-
able, DIR. JUL said.
