With the objective to determine the combining ability of broiler matrix lines by means of factor analysis, single crosses (full diallel) within female lines (PP, KK and VV) were used. The evaluated traits were egg numbers from the 24th-32nd(P1), 32nd-40th(P2), 40th-48th (P3), 48th-56th (P4), 56th-64th (P5), 22nd-66th (P6), 32nd-66th (P7)), 40th-66th (P8), 48th-66th(P9), 24th-40th (P10), 24th-48th (P11)) and 24th-56th (P12) week of age. In the factor analysis, two factors were used, with the meaning biological factor defined after the factor […]
