Genetic and phenotypic correlation coefficients of quantitative traits in two chicken genotypes

description This study was carried out to estimate genetic and phenotypic correlations of morphometric traits of a newly developed Nigerian poultry breed (FUNAAB Alpha) and Noiler chickens. A total of 300 unsexed day-old-chicks comprising 150 each of the two genotypes were raised for eighteen weeks. Superior individuals (4 cocks and 20 hens per genotype) from first phase were selected based on weight to constitute parents of 100 birds per genotype raised in second phase for 12 weeks. Body weight, and linear body measurements (body circumference, breast girth, thigh length, shank length and wing length) were taken on weekly basis. Growth data were analysed using Generalized Linear Model of SAS and least significant difference (LSD) test was used to separate significant means for the genotypes. Computed variances and covariances (PROC MIXED DATA) were used to estimate genetic and phenotypic correlations. Results showed that Noiler chicken had higher (p
