Heritability and Genetic Correlation of Age at First Egg and Egg Number up to 40 Weeks of Age After Long-Term Selection in Taiwan Indigenous Chicken

Heritability and Genetic Correlation of Age at First Egg and Egg Number up to 40 Weeks of Age After Long-Term Selection in Taiwan Indigenous Chicken

The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters of the egg-laying traits of hens after long-term selection. Four lines were derived from Taiwan indigenous chickens conserved in situ by the National Livestock Biodiversity Program. A total of 9834 hens’ laying records from 18 non-ov...
