Ascites resistance of progeny from broiler breeders selected for two generations using chronic unilateral pulmonary artery occlusion

Broilers that survived unilateral pulmonary artery occlusion and lived to maturity comprised the first generation (GEN1) of an ascites-resistant line. Progeny from the GEN1 line previously were shown to tolerate fast growth and cool temperatures with a 50% lower incidence of ascites than chicks from...
