Genetic control of neonatal growth and intestinal maturation in turkeys

POULTRY SCIENCE, 86(3), 476–487.

By: V. Christensen n, D. Ort n, K. Nestor*, S. Velleman* & G. Havenstein n

author keywords: turkey; body weight; feed conversion; carbohydrate metabolism; inheritance
MeSH headings : Alkaline Phosphatase / metabolism; Animals; Animals, Newborn / genetics; Animals, Newborn / growth & development; Appetite / genetics; Appetite / physiology; Body Weight / genetics; Body Weight / physiology; Digestion / genetics; Digestion / physiology; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Jejunum / enzymology; Jejunum / growth & development; Organ Size; Turkeys / genetics; Turkeys / growth & development; alpha-Glucosidases / metabolism
TL;DR: The genetic changes from long-term selection in the E and F lines have had concomitant effects on jejunum growth and function that parallel the changes in growth rate and may be due to increases in the absorption of nutrients rather than to differences in glucose digestion.
