Genetics, immunoresponsiveness, and disease resistance in chickens
The experiments reported in this dissertation explored the effects of selection for antibody response on other immunological measures and on production traits. The role of thyroid hormones in antibody response was also studied. Selection for high (HA) and low (LA) antibody response to sheep erythroc...
