The Influence of Age Hens on the Intensity Load Capacity from Different Weight Groups Eggs

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hens’ age on the intensity of load from different weight groups eggs. This paper presents the correlation connection, meaning and significance of differences connection for two weight classes (M - 53 to 63g and L – 63g to 73g), which make up the largest part of the total number of eggs produced during the entire production cycle, as well as for all of the eggs produced, as compared to age-laying hens. Between age and intensity of load to 53 weeks of age hens (ALH53/34), there is a strong positive, medium and slight correlation coefficients determined and phenotypic correlation are statistically confirmed at the level of P <0.01 and P <0.05. From 53 weeks of age until the end of exploitation of laying hens (ALH72/53) the correlation strength of the association was weaker and weaker, and in the last eight weeks passed in the negative, ie. fortified negative phenotypic correlation coefficients, but were not statistically significant (P> 0.05). Between the age of hens and intensity of load hardest groups (classes) eggs (L) there is a complete and very strong connections and established correlation coefficients were statistically significant at P <0.001.
