A total of 270 one day-old broiler chicks comprising of 90 chicks each ofAborAcre, Ross and Marshal Strains were used for the study. The study was carried out to determine the correlation between the body weight and other morphometric measurements in the broiler strains from 2 to 8 weeks of age and predict body weight of the broiler using linear body measurement. Data were collected on body weight and body measurements to include breast length (BRL), thigh width (TW), shank length (SL), keel length (KL), wing length and drumstick length (DL). There were strong positive and significant (p>0.01) correlations between body weight (BWT) and all morphometric traits in the three broiler strains studied, except breast length (BRL) that showed weak but significant (p |
