EP227 - The Art of Seed Fowl Selection

In this episode of 'Bred to Perfection,' host Kenny Troiano,
along with his co-hosts Nancy and Frank Bradley, discuss various
strategies and tips for improving breeding and the creation of
strains. They emphasize the importance of patience, perseverance,
and selecting the right breeding stock (seed fowl). The
conversation covers genetic factors, such as the importance of
using seed fowl to start a strain, the risks of adding new blood
to existing lines, and the value of understanding and applying
principles of meiosis. The hosts also address common myths and
misconceptions about breeding program strategies, the
significance of polygenic traits, and the changing nature of
traits in different environments. Additionally, the episode
touches on practical advice for avoiding online scams in
purchasing birds, the benefits of visiting breeders in person,
and the usefulness of modern tools like video chats for ensuring
authenticity.

deep into the world of breeding and genetics, nutrition and

This episode of 'Bred to Perfection' hosted by Kenny Troiano,
alongside Nancy and Frank Bradley, discusses advanced techniques
for serious breeders. The show delves into the importance of
patience and perseverance in breeding programs, emphasizing the
gradual improvement of strains through selective breeding rather
