Genetic parameters for eggshell traits in ostriches.

British poultry science - 1 Jan 2012

Brand Z, Cloete S W P, Malecki I A, Brown C R

Abstract excerpt

1. A study was conducted on ~14000 ostrich eggs to estimate genetic parameters for eggshell traits that could benefit the hatchability of ostrich eggs. Traits measured included the number of pores on the eggshell, the average diameter of these pores, the total area of pores on the eggshell, permeability (pore area/shell thickness) and eggshell thickness. 2. Heritability estimates ranged from 0·16 for total pore...
