A Bi-variate mixture model analysis of body weight and ascites traits in broilers (2006)
The objective of the present study was to use bivariate mixture models to study the relationships between body weight (BW) and ascites indicator traits. Existing data were used from an experiment in...
Effect of Age and Housing System on Genetic Parameters for Broiler Carcass Traits (2005)
Zerehdaran, S., Vereijken, A.L.J.
The effect of age and housing system on genetic parameters for BW and carcass traits was investigated. Traits were measured on broilers of different ages (48, 63, and 70 d). Birds in the 48 and 70 d...

Broiler breeding strategies using indirect carcass measurements (2005)
Zerehdaran, S., Vereijken, A.L.J., Bovenhuis, H.
The objective of the current study was to determine the consequences of using indirect carcass measurements on the genetic response and rate of inbreeding in broiler breeding programs. In the base...
Estimation of Genetic Parameters for Fat Deposition and Carcass Traits in Broilers (2004)
Zerehdaran, S., Vereijken, A.L.J.
Abdominal and subcutaneous fat are regarded as the main sources of waste in the slaughterhouse. Fat stored intramuscularly is regarded a favorite trait related to meat quality. The objective of...
