Combining abilities among four breeds of chicken for feed efficiency variation: a preliminary assessment for chicken improvement in Nigeria.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Dec 2011

Adebambo Ayotunde Olutumininu

Abstract excerpt

General and specific combining abilities for feed efficiency in 5,191 chicks from a combination of four breeds of chickens, (Anak Titan (A), Alpha (B), Giriraja (G), and normal indigenous (N) chickens) were examined by means of diallel analysis. The analysis revealed that Anak Titan had the highest general combining ability of 0.07 ± 0.00 while the least was Alpha with a value of -0.09 ± 0.00. The results of the...
