Genetic parameters, reciprocal cross differences, and age-related heterosis of egg-laying performance in chickens
Abstract Background Egg-laying performance is economically important in poultry breeding programs. Crossbreeding between indigenous and elite commercial lines to exploit heterosis has been an upward trend in traditional layer breeding for niche markets. The objective of this study was to analyse the...
