The effect of constant ambient temperature and ration on the performance of sexed broilers
Abstract:
Two trials involving 480 Cobb color-sexed broiler chicks were conducted to determine the effect of various constant ambient temperatures on the performance of broilers. Temperatures in Trial 1 were 18 and 29 C and in Trial 2 were 24 and 35 C. The interacting effect of dietary energy (3.142 or 3.252 kcal ME/g of diet) and protein (16, 19, or 22%) on performance criteria was also examined within each trial. There was no indication of selective consumption of any of the ratios at any temperature. Differences in feed consumption observed in either trial were totally contributed by temperature effect. Within a trial, and irrespective of temperature treatment, the rate of growth and feed consumption of the females were less than that of the males. Males and females responded equally to the ambient temperature; there was no significant sex X temperature interaction in Trials 1 or 2.

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Testing a Claim about Mean: Known Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be distributed normally. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. The sample size needed to be higher than 30, and most importantly, the population standard deviation should be already known.
In most realistic situations, the population standard deviation is often unknown, but in rare circumstances, when it...
