格鲁吉亚大学有两个肉用型鸡对照品系：雅典随机繁殖（ARB）和雅典加拿大随机繁殖（ACRB）。Athens Random Bred是在1956年从彩色羽毛商品肉鸡品系中开发出来的。ACRB是1955年从白色羽毛商品肉型鸡中开发的渥太华肉对照品系的复制群体。这些遗传品系是极其宝贵的研究资源，并已被广泛用于提供现代肉类品系的比较背景。ACRB可能是最古老的纯种控制商业肉类鸡仍然存在的今天。本文回顾了历史的品种背景的控制人口和审查研究利用ACRB。
The University of Georgia maintains two meat-type chicken control strains: the Athens Random Bred (ARB) and the Athens Canadian Random Bred (ACRB). The Athens Random Bred was developed from colored plumage commercial meat chicken strains in 1956. The ACRB is a replicate population of the Ottawa Meat Control strain which was developed in 1955 from white plumage commercial meat-type chickens. These genetic lines have been extremely valuable research resources and have been used extensively to provide comparative context to modern meat-type strains. The ACRB may be the oldest pedigreed control commercial meat-type chicken still in existence today. This paper reviews the history of the breed backgrounds for both control populations and reviews research utilizing the ACRB.
