چکیده
effects of mating sex ratios on production performance in indian peafowl were investigated at punjabwildlife research institute, gatwala faisalabad. research was conducted from may through august 2007 toexplore the most productive mating sex ratio. the sex ratios have a significant effect on egg production.maximum mean eggs (1.63) were produced by the sex ratio 1:2 while maximum egg fertility (79.63%) andhatchability (61.59%) was noted in the sex ratio 1:3. sex ratios had a significant effect on egg weight. sexratios have shown no effect (except number of mountings) on courtship behavior of peafowl. statistically lessfeed was consumed by sex ratio 1:3 and better feed conversion was shown by sex ratio 1:1
