چکیده
The research was conducted to determine the effect of flock age on the reproductive traits of Shika Brown® chicken in Aliero, Nigeria. A total of ۱۱۷۷ eggs were collected from the birds of the African Chicken Genetic Gains (ACGG) project in Kebbi State and incubated at different flock ages (۴۸, ۴۹, ۵۰, and ۵۱ weeks). The experimental design used was the Nested type. The Parameters considered include mean egg weight, fertility, hatchability, hatch weight, and embryonic mortality. The data were analyzed using the Generalized Linear Model of SPSS. Significant interaction (P≤۰.۰۵) was observed between flock age and egg weight, fertility, hatchability, embryonic mortality, and hatched weight. The highest egg weight (۵۸.۴۰±۰.۳۲g) and hatchability (۶۸.۵۷±۱.۹۱%) were recorded at age ۵۱, fertility was highest (۹۴.۶۵±۱.۷۵%) at age ۵۰ weeks and lowest (۸۹.۵۲±۲.۲۱) at ۴۸ weeks. Egg weight, hatchability, and hatched chicks’ weight were amplified (P≤۰.۰۵) with the increase in age (۴۸-۵۱ weeks). Embryonic mortality differs with age (P≤۰.۰۵) and was highest at the ۴۸th week and lowest at ۵۱ weeks of age. From the results obtained, it can be deduced that flock age has a great influence on egg weight, fertility, hatchability, embryonic mortality, and hatch weight of Shika Brown® chicken.The research was conducted to determine the effect of flock age on the reproductive traits of Shika Brown® chicken in Aliero, Nigeria.

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
