Genotype‐environment interactions in genetically diverse meat‐type stocks of ChickensFootnote¹

This investigation was conducted as part of the Southern Regional Poultry Breeding Project (S‐68), a cooperative study involving agricultural experiment stations in the Southern Region and supported in part by Regional Research Funds and Poultry Research Branch Funds of the United States Department of Agriculture.
