Genetic parameters of excretion traits and correlations with anatomy of the gastro-intestinal tract and digestive efficiency JO - BMC Genetics SP - 71 VL - 12 IS - 1 AB - Poultry production has been widely criticized for its negative environmental impact related to the quantity of manure produced and to its nitrogen and phosphorus content.
