We had this conversation at our food store yesterday. If you think about it a large precentage of popular commercial breeds are white- why.
White pigs,
broiler chickens,
NZW rabbits,
Turkeys.....
I suggested it may be easier to see any problems on a white animal, but are they really selectively bred to be white, I'm sure white isn't the most dominant gene colour.:?
