Abstract

The effect of sex-linked dwarf naked neck and frizzle genes on the eight genotypes of laying hens; normal (Dw-ff nana) naked neck (Dw-ff Nana) frizzle (Dw-Fr nana) frizzled naked neck (Dw-Ff Nana) dwarf (dw-ff nana) dwarf frizzled (dw-Ff nana) and dwarf frizzled naked neck (dw-Ff Nana). Result indicated that genotype had no significant (P0.05) effect on albumen height (at 60 and 76 weeks) yolk weight (at 76 weeks only) and shell breaking strength (at 60 weeks only). The combination of Na and F appeared to have a positive interaction on several egg quality traits among the non-dwarf population although the F had no major effect. However the Na increased shell weight and breaking strength. The dw appeared to have detrimental effects on several external and internal egg quality traits despite the incorporation of Na and /or F.
