A Study of Selections for the Variation and Inheritance of the Size, Shape and Color of Hens Eggs: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate ... of Doctor of Philosophy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book offers an in-depth study of the inheritance of egg characteristics in poultry through the analysis of size, shape, and color variations. The study conducted by the author over several years involved selective breeding of hens and the detailed examination of their egg production. The author begins with a review of existing literature on the subject, highlighting the limited research and the inconsistent findings regarding the inheritance of egg characteristics. Through meticulous observation and data analysis, the author provides compelling evidence for the heritability of these traits, specifically demonstrating the influence of both maternal and paternal lineages on the phenotype of the offspring's eggs. The book also explores the relationship between egg characteristics and other factors such as the age of the hen, the time of year, and the hen's overall health. The author's findings shed light on the complex interplay between genetics and environmental influences on egg production. This book is a valuable resource for poultry scientists, geneticists, and anyone interested in the inheritance of quantitative traits. It contributes significantly to the understanding of the genetic basis of egg characteristics and provides practical insights for selective breeding programs aimed at improving poultry production.
