Estimation of crossbreeding parameters for growth and feed efficiency traits in exotic chicken breed crosses with Fayoumi under reciprocal mating

Estimation of crossbreeding parameters for growth and feed efficiency traits in exotic chicken breed crosses with Fayoumi under reciprocal mating

A better understanding of genetic parameters is required to evaluate the combining abilities of different genotypes. The current experiment aimed to estimate crossbreeding parameters for body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in genetic groups generated through rec...
