Title: Genetic parameters of egg production, body weight and egg size in the red‐legged partridge
Abstract: 1. Heritability estimates of egg production, egg weight and body weight of red‐legged partridge were obtained. 2. Data from a population selected for increased egg production over four generations as well as from a random‐bred control population were available. 3. Heritability of egg number during the first production period was considerably higher than estimates for a second production period, induced by appropriate lighting. 4. Egg weight and body weight were highly heritable.
