Abstract:
An investigation was carried out to study the effect of strain and egg weight on chick’s weight in large, medium and small sized eggs of chicken strains. The study was conducted at poultry farm, SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner. A total of 297 eggs were collected and grouped into three egg size categories i.e. Small (38-44 g), medium (45-52 g) and large (53-59 g). It was observed that fertility was positively correlated with hatchability on (TES) and hatchability on (FES) for both the breeds. In both the breeds, fertility was negatively correlated with mortality and chick weight.
