EP223 - Infuse to Improve? Not So Fast!

Can Conformation and Performance Ability be Improved by
Infusing New Blood?


There is a big difference between a true breeder and a wannabe
breeder. What’s the difference? It comes down to science vs
speculation. Although speculation produces favorable results,
from time to time, science produces the same results, without
fail, every time. Science is right, but only succeeds if breeders
are willing to accept it and use it. The problem is, most would
rather avoid the science. They feel it’s too difficult to learn
and use, and so they discard it as useless and irrelevant. If
they only knew that this kind of thinking is holding them back,
and that by embracing the science, they would save so much time
and money, and they would get the results they were looking for.
One of the biggest falsehoods is the idea that you can fix a
trait by adding or infusing new, outside blood. Or the idea that
you can infuse outside blood to refresh and strengthen a weak
family. Crossbreeding to introduce new traits, and infusion to
refresh a weak strain has become standard practice with most
modern day breeders. The problem is, it’s a practice that doesn’t
really work as advertised. Also, many believe that traits can be
improved through infusion or crossbreeding, such as conformation
of body and performance ability. These are two traits that cannot
be improved by adding or infusing new blood. These traits require
a different type of selection and breeding practice to improve,
and adding outside blood is the wrong approach. It’s our hope
that we can change your perception about the science of breeding,
and encourage you to change your practice as well. You are only
going to improve your breeding, when you can accept the
science. 


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!


Kenny Troiano


Founder of "The Breeders Academy"


We specialize in breeding, and breeding related
topics. This includes proper selection practices and the
use of proven breeding programs. It is our mission to provide our
followers and members a greater understanding of poultry
breeding, poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease
prevention, and how to improve the production and performance
ability of your fowl. 


If you are interested in creating a strain, or improving
your established strain, you are in the right
place. 


We also want to encourage you to join us at the Breeders
Academy, where we will not only help you increase your
knowledge of breeding and advance your skills as a breeder, but
improve the quality and performance of your fowl.

In this episode of Bred to Perfection, host Kenny Troiano
discusses various aspects of poultry breeding, focusing on
improving genetic traits without infusing new blood. Kenny,
alongside co-host Nancy, explains the importance of selective
breeding, understanding genetic factors, and the pitfalls of
adding new blood to an existing strain. They emphasize the need
for knowledge in genetics to effectively improve traits like
conformation, performance, and production ability.
