Abstract:Broiler chicken is highly demanded to meet proteins needs of growing population. This research was designed to evaluate the effect of selection response on the growth and reproductive performance traits of broiler chicken lines. Broiler chickens were selected into male and female lines. Body weight, conformation traits, production and reproductive traits were evaluated. Heritability and selection differential were computed and were used to estimate selection response. Correlations among serum alkaline phosphat… Show more
