Genetic analyses of growth, sexual maturation, and ova production in chickens

Five experiments were conducted to study genetic influences on growth and early egg production in chickens. Parental lines included White Plymouth Rocks divergently selected 25 generations for high (H) and for low (L) 56-day body weight and a closed population of Jersey Black Giants (JJ). F₁ generat...
