Harper Adam Agricultural College, Updated: November, 2016 Newport, Shropshire (Now Harper Adams University) 1 SEX – LINKAGE AND AUTOSEXING IN WATERFOWL It is only fair to state that the need for early sex determination, through sex linked crosses in waterfowl, is much less than in other classes of poultry. This is because it is easier to vent sex the day-olds of these species with very little training. Moreover, crossbreeding is rarely an option for exhibition and ornamental breeders. The exception is in commercial table duckling production where unfortunately since only white breeds are used, sex-linkage cannot be exploited. There may be some, however, who feel unable to attempt vent sexing, particularly with goslings which are more difficult to manipulate and more vulnerable to rough handling. Others may be interested in sex-linked inheritance for its own sake regardless of any practical advantage. THE PRINCIPLES OF SEX – LINKAGE Without going into too much technical detail I would like to explain the principles underlying sex-linkage. For a more detailed account of these principles the reader is referred to the excellent bulletin by Chris Hann (1966).
