EP225 - The Detriments of Defects

In this episode, we will discuss the consequences of breeding
birds that have known faults. We will answer the question, “Can
we create a strain with birds expressing defects and faults?”
And, what are the often-underestimated determinants that defects
can have on our strains?


While the practice of selective breeding has improved in the last
hundred years, it's essential to acknowledge that there are many
breeders who are still perpetuating faults that may someday have
a detrimental effect on the breed as a whole. 


As breeders, we must understand that it’s our responsibility to
practice sound breeding practices, and move towards perfection,
while preserving the breed. Join us as we discuss the pros and
cons of this practice, and hopefully give you better insight on
ways to breed and create better strains. 


Make sure to follow and watch our future shows. We plan to dive
deep into the world of breeding and genetics, nutrition and
health management, and provide essential tips, so you too can
create high quality strains.  Whether you're breeding
domestic chickens, gamefowl, or various types of livestock, this
show is for you. 


Join us on Bred to Perfection Live, Friday’s at 6pm
PST or 9pm EST on YouTube, as we
discuss the benefits of creating your own strain.


See ya there!
