Analyses
Analyses of variance trait by trait:
• All traits: line, diet, line×diet interaction
• Depending on trait: sex, weight, observer
Multifactorial analyses:
• 1 analysis by pillar on a selection of traits
• Done at the pen level
• Means of individual values (body weight, digestibility, …)
• Value of the pen (FCR, litter quality)
• Each trait was cut in 2 categories (high-low) with equal frequencies
• SPAD7.0 software

Conclusions
Criteria as CDUDM or NE/NI can be selected
Selection on CDUDM or AMEn more efficient than on RFC or FCR for environmental purposes
Selection for digestive efficiency
• Improves economic performances
• Improves environmental performances
• Does not modify or slightly improve social performances
Birds with improved digestive efficiency are less susceptible to diet change
