estimation of heritability and genetic and phenotypic correlation between egg quality and body weight traits in native fowls of fars
a total of 2000 records of egg quality of 746 birds and body weight data from 17th generation of fars native fowl breeding station were used to estimate the genetic parameters of egg quality and body weight traits. six univariate animal models with different random effects were fitted for each trait. a model with direct additive genetic and maternal permanent environmental effects was the most ...
متن کاملEffect of the Genetic Selection of Turkeys for Increased Body Weight and Egg Production on Immune and Physiological Responses1
Selection of poultry for fast growth rate is often accompanied by a reduction in specific immune responses or increased disease susceptibility. In this study, 17-wk-old male turkeys from each of four closed genetic lines, a randombred control (RBC) line and its subline (F) selected for increased 16-wk BW, and another RBC line and its subline (E) selected for increased egg production, were teste...
متن کاملEstimation of genetic parameters for productive and reproductive traits in Esfahan native chickens
The main aim of this research was to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters for productive and reproductive traits of Esfahan native chickens. Traits included body weights at hatch (BW1), 8 weeks of age (BW8), 12 weeks of age (BW12), and at sexual maturity (WSM)], age at sex maturity (ASM), egg number (EN), average egg weight (AEW) in the first 12 weeks of production, and egg production...
متن کاملEffect of Egg Weight on Egg Traits and Hatching Performance of Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Eggs
The study was conducted to determine the effects of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)egg weight on certain egg traits and hatching performance. A total of 178 turkey eggs comprising of three different egg weight groups below 60 g (G I), 61 to 69 g (G II) and above 70 g (G III) were used for this study. Average egg weight (g), egg length (cm), egg breadth (cm) and egg volume (cm3) values increased wi...
متن کاملGenetic mapping of quantitative trait loci affecting body weight, egg character and egg production in F2 intercross chickens.
Phenotypic measurements of chicken egg character and production traits are restricted to mature females only. Marker assisted selection of immature chickens using quantitative trait loci (QTL) has the potential to accelerate the genetic improvement of these traits in the chicken population. The QTL for 12 traits (i.e. body weight (BW), six for egg character, three for egg shell colour and two f...
