Research Note: Heterosis for egg production and oviposition pattern in reciprocal crossbreeds of indigenous and elite laying chickens

Heterosis has been widely utilized in chicken breeding to improve economically important traits. However, few studies focused on revealing the factors contributing to egg production heterosis. In this study, White Leghorn and Beijing-You chickens were used as parental breeds to generate purebreds (W...
