The prediction of the breeding value of poultry from the intensity of the early ontogeny processes

Kovalenko V.P., Bolelaia S.Iu., Boroday V.P.

Theoretical approaches to the estimation of shaping processes intensity in the early ontogenesis in poultry based on the parameters of growth intensity and uniformity have been considered. It is shown that the indices of growth uniformity defined during the 1st-3rd weeks of life have a significant correlation with the final live weight at the age of 7-8 weeks. This opens new prospects in prediction of the poultry flesh productivity.
