Abstract

The present investigation was undertaken to study various part production records for predicting the annual egg production of different strains. The phenotypic linear and non-linear correlations between the different part production and annual production showed that those estimates were statistically significant in all the strains except at 30 days of part production. So it may be concluded that part period egg production records may be used for genetic improvement of birds for annual egg production.
