Heterosis in normal versus dwarf laying hens.

Poultry science - 1 Jan 1994

Merat P, Minvielle F, Bordas A, Coquerelle G

Abstract excerpt

The effect of genotype at the sex-linked dwarf locus on heterosis in crosses between a White Leghorn and a brown egg line for body weight, egg production, and related traits was studied. Heterozygous Dw/dw males were used to produce normal and dwarf pullets in each of the pure lines and their rec...
