“…Broiler pure lines are breeding material with elite characteristics and more importance is attributed to them than their descendants (grand-parents, parents and hybrids) produced in other stages of production. Because the yield increases in their commercial hybrids are due to the genetic progress achieved at pure line level (Erensoy and Sarıca, 2022). Therefore, a good physiological start of the pure line chicks in the post-hatch period would have provided significant advantages for the later life.…”

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of varying holding durations on some post-hatching characteristics of broiler pure line chicks with different selection backgrounds. Fifty d-old chicks from each of 3 dam (A1, A2, A3) and 1 sire (B1) ANADOLU-T broiler pure lines were used. Ten chicks of each genotype were treated with holding durations of 0, 12, 24, 36 and 48-h after hatching. At the end of each holding duration, individual chick weight (g), weight loss (g, %), chick length (mm), wing feather length (mm), rectal temperature (oC), yolk sac weight (g, %) and yolk-free body mass (g) were determined. Hatching egg weights were similar in A1 (60.9 g), A2 (60.9 g) and B1 (61.1 g) lines, but higher than A3 (59.2 g) (P

The aim of the this study was to reveal the trends in body weight (BW), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), livability, and body defects (foot pad dermatitis (FPD), hock burn (HB), and breast burn (BB)) in offspring of ANADOLU-T pure lines (PLs), their 12 four-way hybrids and ROSS-308 hybrid, and the observed heterosis values for some performance and body defect traits. A total of 2736 (1368 broilers each) broiler chickens from ANADOLU-T pure lines, their hybrids, and commercial ROSS-308 hybrid were hatched from breeder eggs at 32 and 52 weeks of age and reared for 42 days in 2 experiments. The PL eggs were generally heavier than hybrid eggs ( P < 0.001) and day-old BWs ( P < 0.001) were also higher in PL chicks (ranging between 44.5 and 45.8 g). The males of ROSS-308 hybrid were heavier than others at 42 d of age ( P = 0.035), and the lowest BW values were determined for A1, A2, and A3 line chickens ( P < 0.001). ROSS-308 (4453.8 g) showed similar 42-d FI with all of four-way ANADOLU-T hybrids except (B1 × B2) × (A1 × A2) and (B1 × B2) × (A3 × A1). The 42-d FCR was 1.473 for the ROSS-308, while it ranged between 1.654 and 1.715 for the four-way ANADOLU-T hybrids ( P < 0.001). The 42-d livability of four-way ANADOLU-T hybrids and ROSS-308 ranged between 92.0 and 100.0%. All ANADOLU-T hybrids, except two, showed higher 42-d livability than ROSS-308. While both genotype and sex were important for HB and BB, only the genotype effect was significant for FPD ( P < 0.001). All ANADOLU-T hybrids showed low to moderate and positive heterosis for BW after 28 d. From 14 to 42 d, the magnitudes of heterosis for FCR decreased. Heterosis for livability from 7 to 42 d were not significant between genotypes. Percentages of heterosis for resistance to FPD (− 1.56 to 1.44%), HB (− 37.03 to 18.75%), and BB (− 12.70 to 1.02%) defects were not significant among genotypes. It was concluded that mating of B1 × B2 males with A1 × A2 and A3 × A2 females seems more favorable in terms of higher chick and meat production. However, the fact that the overall performance of ANADOLU-T hybrids is lower than ROSS-308 clearly indicates that genetic selection must be maintained for enhanced body weight and feed efficiency.
