Abstract excerpt
1. Genetic (co)variances and parameters between body weights (BW) across the growth trajectory were estimated using a univariate random regression (RR) animal model. The effect of growth rates (GH) on age at first egg (AFE) and egg weight at first egg (EWFE) were explored using a series of univariate and bivariate analyses. 2. Body weights were taken from Thai native chickens at hatch day to 168 days of age. The...
