TI  - Carcass composition and yield of 1957 versus 2001 broilers when fed 
      representative 1957 and 2001 broiler diets.
PG  - 1509-18
AB  - The yield of carcass parts as well as levels of carcass fat, moisture, and ash 
      were measured in the 1957 Athens-Canadian Randombred Control (ACRBC) and in the 
      Ross 308 commercial broiler, when fed diets that were representative of those 
      being fed during 1957 and 2001. The Ross 308 was used to represent 2001 
      commercial broilers. Comparisons of carcass weights of the Ross 308 on the 2001 
      diet versus the ACRBC on the 1957 diet showed they were 6.0, 5.9, 5.2, and 4.6 
      times heavier than the ACRBC at 43, 57, 71, and 85 d of age, respectively. Yields 
      of hot carcass without giblets (fat pad included) were 12.3, 13.6, 12.2, and 11.1 
      percentage points higher for the Ross 308 than for the ACRBC at those ages. The 
      yields of total breast meat for the Ross 308 were 20.0, 21.3, 21.9, and 22.2% and 
      were 8.4, 9.9, 10.3, and 9.8 percentage points higher than for the ACRBC at those 
      ages. Yields of saddle and legs for the Ross 308 broiler were approximately 31 to 
      32% over the four ages and were about 1.5 to 2% higher than for the ACRBC at the 
      different ages. The Ross 308 averaged 13.7, 15.0, 18.6, and 18.5% whole carcass 
      fat versus 8.5, 10.6, 12.7, and 14.0% for the ACRBC at the four ages. In 
      conjunction with previous studies, the current data show that yield of broiler 
      carcass parts has continued to increase over time and that genetics has been the 
      major contributor to changes in yield.
