Popis: Data on live performance traits obtained from experiments involving two strains of meat-type chicken were analysed and used to estimate heritabilities of the traits and the -inter-character correlations. There were strain differences (P0.05) for feed conversion ratio. Genetic correlations obtained between pairs of characters were generally high (P
