In this episode of Bred to Perfection, the host Kenny Troiano and
Brian Reeder discusses the intricacies of poultry breeding,
focusing on genetics, epigenetics, disease resistance, and
effective selection practices. Kenny and Brian emphasize the
importance of selecting for the 'complete package' rather than
singular traits, and share insights on how environmental factors
and nutrition impact genetic expression. The episode also touches
on the role of various genetic factors, the importance of disease
resistance through natural selection, and tips for adapting birds
to different diets. Additionally, resources, such as Brian
Reeder's books on poultry genetics are recommended for breeders
interested in improving their fowl.
