Estimation of heterosis, combining ability and reciprocal effects for body weight in four genetic groups of chicken from a full diallel cross

This study aims to estimate the heterotic effects (H<sup>e</sup>), general combining abilities (GCA), specific combining abilities (SCA), and reciprocal effects (RE) for body weight (BW) in a 4 × 4 full diallel cross involving Improved Horro (H), commercial Sasso (S), Potchefstroom Koekoek (K), and...
