CORRELATION BETWEEN BODY WEIGHT AND MORPHOMETRIC TRAITS IN ISA BROWN AND FULANI ECOTYPE CHICKENS IN SOUTHERN GUINEA SAVANNAH OF NIGERIA
Data on 400 chickens was used to estimate the correlation between body weight (BWT) and morphometric traits in young and adult Isa brown and Fulani ecotype chickens. Shank length had the highest correlation with BWT in young birds of both genotypes (0.87-0.92). All the morphometric traits measured in young birds were significantly (P
