Poultry Genetics for Pastured Production (Summary)
Poultry Genetics for Pastured Production (Summary)
While most pastured poultry producers in North America raise the same fast-growing Cornish-and-
White-Rock-cross broilers used in conventional confined production, many producers are interested in
alternative genetic types that may be more suitable for outdoor production or for niche markets. This
publication released in April 2005 provides information on the Cornish Rock crosses in outdoor production, discusses several
slower-growing breeds, and provides information on hatcheries that offer these alternative breeds.
