Abstract
OVER the past twenty years, the feasibility of breeding strains of fowls in which mortality from lymphomatosis is reduced to negligible levels has been demonstrated1,2. Many poultry breeders are now developing resistant strains. If families resistant to this disease do not hatch as well as families that are susceptible, as Coles and Underwood have stated3, the, desirability of attempting to develop resistant stock may seem dubious. Accordingly, we have examined our records for the past six years for evidence of any such relationship.
