Hosted by Rip Stalvey, this episode covers:

  • What body capacity really means in poultry
  • How to evaluate it using hands-on methods
  • Why it's a key trait for feed efficiency, egg production, and vigor
  • Proven strategies to breed birds with better internal volume
  • How nutrition and management influence genetic expression
