Two experiments were conducted to investigate whether a positive relationship exists between individual capacity for rapid growth and the subsequent development of ascites lesions in broilers. Chicks were wingbanded at 1 day of age and reared to 7 weeks on high-energy rations designed to promote rapid growth and ascites. All chicks dying during the experimental period were necropsied to determine the presence or absence of ascites lesions. In neither experiment was there any indication that the individual capacity for rapid growth, as reflected in relative 2-week body weights, was associated with an increased propensity to develop ascites.
进行了两项实验，以研究肉鸡个体快速生长能力与随后腹水病变发展之间是否存在正相关关系。雏鸡在1日龄时佩戴翅号，并在旨在促进快速生长和腹水形成的高能日粮下饲养至7周龄。对实验期间死亡的所有雏鸡进行尸检，以确定是否存在腹水病变。在两项实验中，均未发现以2周龄相对体重反映的个体快速生长能力与发生腹水的倾向增加有关。
