Variance components for live weight, body measurements and reproductive traits of pair-mated ostrich females.

British poultry science - 1 Apr 2006

Cloete S W P, Bunter K L, Lambrechts H, Brand Z, Swart D, Greyling J P C

Abstract excerpt

Estimates of genetic parameters for reproductive traits, live weight and body measurements were obtained using data from a pair-mated ostrich flock at Oudtshoorn in South Africa. Reproductive traits included total egg and chick production, along with hatchability percentage. Live weight, chest circumference and tail circumferences were recorded at the commencement and cessation of breeding. Heritability estimates...
