Genetic characterization of egg weight, egg production and age at first egg in quails Caracterização genética da idade ao primeiro ovo, da produção e do peso dos ovos em linhagens de codornas

The objective of this research was to estimate genetic parameters for the traits egg weight, egg production in 189 days and age at first egg in three laying quails and one meat line of quails. Data was analyzed by Bayesian procedures using Gibbs sampling. The heritability estimates for egg weight, e...
