A Literature Review on Interaction between Sex and Genotype on Carcass Characteristics of Broiler Chickens
Abstract: The aim of this study is to conduct an extensive literature review on interaction between genotype and sex on carcass characteristics of broiler birds. This is because in recent studies, there is higher preference for broiler with higher carcass characteristics. Interaction between sex and genotype is being researched on to determine if each of this parameters depended on each other and how it affects the carcass characteristics of broiler birds. The methodology used in this study was review from secondary sources of information including journals, articles, newspaper, and textbooks. In this study, authors found that there is no significant interaction between genotype and sex of carcass characteristics of broiler birds. The carcass characteristics of broiler birds tends to vary across various genotypes while the males tend to have higher carcass characteristics irrespective of the genotype. Future researchers are encouraged to consider how broiler genotype with low carcass can be improved genetically to enhance higher carcass.
