Abstract excerpt
A major part of the growth performance in birds is the result of the combined effects of genes, including the general and specific combining ability that requires the design of an optimal mating system. The aim of this study was to fit the best model for each body weight trait from hatch to 45 days and the estimation of the variance components and the genetic parameters for the body weight traits of a crossbred...
