Common broiler parent lines are hybrids developed by major breeding companies, focusing on traits such as rapid growth, feed efficiency, and high meat yield. Some popular broiler parent lines include:
1. Cobb 500 (from Cobb-Vantress)
2. Ross 308 and Ross 708 (from Aviagen)
3. Hubbard Classic, Hubbard Flex, and others (from Hubbard)
