Genetic and phenotypic parameter estimates of body weight and egg production traits of Tilili chicken in Ethiopia
High genetic variation in African indigenous chicken populations provides opportunities for long-term genetic improvement. This study estimated genetic parameters for economic traits based on data derived from a nucleus flock comprising two generations, derived from 40 sires and 200 dams in a line b...
