Phenotypic Correlation Between Egg Weight and Egg Linear Measurements of the French Broiler Guinea Fowl Raised in the Humid Zone of Nigeria By Gwaza DS in Current Trends on Biostatistics and Biometrics in Lupine Publishers
This study was carried out in Funtua, Kastina State. A total of 119 Eggs
of the French broiler guinea fowl were sourced at Songhai
Agricultural center Funtua, Kastina State. The eggs were measured for
egg linear measurements and egg length and egg width. Data
obtained was subjected to statistical package for analysis [1]. The
correlations between body weight and body linear measurements
were determined using pearsons product moment correlation coefficient
(r). Phenotypic correlation between egg weight and egg
linear measurements was also determined. Egg weight had positive and
significant (P<0.05) correlation with egg length (0.275) and
egg width (0.496). The correlation between egg shell index was negative
(-0.058). The result shows that Egg weight can be improved
by selection for egg length and width French broiler guinea fowl
populations.
