[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7649706, member: 348"] Efficiency of production has increased dramatically in pigs & poultry, with FCE now many times better than that of beef or lamb. That has made it cheap for the masses, but it’s also a tasteless carrier for high margin sauces. That production efficiency has come almost entirely from the same recording and selection protocols that are poo poo’ed by many in the UK sheep and beef industries, coupled with a much faster generation interval allowing much faster progress. One thing’s certain, the cost of chicken would be many times higher today if breeders had concentrated on how Bonny the heads were, rather than meaningful efficiency measures! I’m not for one minute suggesting that the pig & poultry industries should be a model for beef & lamb production, but it does go to show the advances in efficiency that can be made through recording and selection...
