Genetic Parameter Estimates of Guinea Fowl (Numida Meleagris) in South-South Region of Nigeria

This study aimed at estimating heritability and repeatability of body weight and somebody parameters of Nigerian guinea fowls. Forty eight dams mated to specific sires in a nested experimental design produced offspring identified sire lines. Data collected at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of age respectively were subjected to analysis of variance. The body traits were: body circumference, thigh length, shank length and breast length. Results showed that heritability for BWT ranged from 0.40 ─ 0.81, while repeatability estimates were at a range 0.20 ─ 0.40 at 8 -12 weeks of age respectively. Body circumfer…
