Ep241 - Embracing the Science of Breeding

Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to become a true breeder? Or, whether you are a true breeder right now? This can be subjective, depending on who you talk to. 

The truth is, there is a big difference between a true breeder and someone who breeds. Some breeders select based on performance alone, while some look for the prettiest birds. However, it’s the breeders who embrace all areas of breeding, and select for the complete package that are the most successful. 

As breeders, we must be willing to learn all areas of breeding, which includes the sciences that so many dread. I say embrace science. Learn why genetics and the laws of inheritance matters, and why evolutionary biology not only relates to how we breed our fowl, but aids us in breeding and creating better breeds and strains. 

By knowing the science of selective breeding, we can produce higher quality strains that will last for future generations. Join us as we discuss this controversial topic, and you can decide for yourself.

Make sure to follow and watch our future shows. We plan to dive deep into the world of breeding and genetics, nutrition and health management, and provide essential tips, so you too can create high quality strains.  Whether you're breeding domestic chickens, gamefowl, or various types of livestock, this show is for you. 

Join us on Bred to Perfection Live, Friday’s at 6pm PST or 9pm EST on YouTube, as we discuss the benefits of creating your own strain.

See ya there!

Kenny Troiano

Founder of "The Breeders Academy"

We specialize in breeding, and breeding related topics. This includes proper selection practices and the use of proven breeding programs. It is our mission to provide our followers and members a greater understanding of poultry breeding, poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of your fowl. 

If you are interested in creating a strain, or improving your established strain, you are in the right place. 

We also want to encourage you to join us at the Breeders Academy, where we will not only help you increase your knowledge of breeding and advance your skills as a breeder, but improve the quality and performance of your fowl.

This episode of 'Bred to Perfection,' is a podcast hosted by Kenny Troiano that is focused on educating and inspiring breeders of chickens and gamefowl. It is produced by the Breeders Academy, which offers workshops, courses, and resources designed to enhance breeding skills and help breeders create and improve their strains. The discussion addresses the importance of genetics, selective breeding, systematic breeding programs, and health management, while debunking common misconceptions. Interactions with listeners include discussions on disease prevention, and creating, improving and maintaining a high quality strain. Kenny and guests emphasize the value of evidence-based methods over traditional but flawed practices, advocating for a science-driven approach to breeding, and offer insights on the significance of environment and management.
