Heritability estimates of external egg quality traits of Exotic Laying Chickens under the influence of age variance in the tropics
The present research was designed to examine heritability estimates of egg length, egg breadth and egg shape index under the influence of age variance for Bovan Nera Black laying chicken sat 25, 51, 72 weeks and overall mean ages of the bird. For this purpose thirty birds were selected from the floc...
