Abstract

The present study was conducted to estimate production performances, heritabilities, and genetic and phenotypic correlations on several economic traits in Korean native chicken. Data analyzed were the records of 1,096 pullets produced from 180 dams and 26 sires of Korean native chicken from April 19,1994 to February 26, 1995. Results obtained are surnmarized as follows: 1. The body weights(X${\pm}$SD) at 2, 8, 14 and 20 weeks of age were 114${\pm}$13, 690${\pm}$114, 1,163${\pm}$238, and 1,687${\pm}$349g, respectively. The age at first egg was 165.95${\pm}$14.54 days, and the number of eggs produced by 300 days of age were 70.78i23.47. The egg weights of the first egg and at 300 days of age were 37.88${\pm}$3.73 and 50.97${\pm}$3.69 g, respectively. 2. The heritability estimates of body weight based on the variance of sires, dams and combined components were 0.149, 0.298, and 0.224 at 8 weeks of age: 0.162, 0.220, and 0.192 at 20 weeks of age, respectively. 3. The heritability estimates of egg production traits based on the variance of sires, dams, and combined components were 0.232, 0.504, and 0.368 for age at first egg; 0.113, 0.172, and 0.143 for number of egg production by 300 days of age: 0.174, 0.352, and 0.236 for egg weight at 300 days of age, respectively. 4. The genetic correlation coefficients of some economic traits were as follows: between body weight and age at first egg, -0.354~-0.048; between body weight and number of egg production, -0.279~ -0.002; between body weight and egg weight, 0.338~0.977; between age at first egg and number of egg production, -0.791; between age at first egg and egg weight, 0.009~0.178; between number of egg production and egg weight, -0.572~ -0.256, respectively. 5. The phenotypic correlation coefficients of some economic traits were as follows: between body weight and age at first egg, -0.179~-0.006 between body weight and number of egg production, -0.045~0.074: between body weight and egg weight, 0.229~0.404: between age at first egg and number of egg production, -0.588: between age at first egg and egg weight, -0.029~0.597: between number of egg production and egg weight, -0.376~0. 019, respectively.
