Differences in <i>Tibia</i> Shape in Organically Reared Chicken Lines Measured by Means of Geometric Morphometrics

In the present study, the conformation of the <i>tibia</i> of seven genetic lines of broilers was analyzed by Geometric Morphometrics and correlated to carcass weight and walking ability. The used chicken genetic lines were classified as fast, medium, or slow growing and ranked for their...
