Hybrids are in crossbreds that are produced by 2-way, 3-way, 4-way crossing of
inbred lines. These are commercial type of chicken used for egg or meat production
since they are high laying or fast growing. These birds possess high degree of
heterosis or hybrid vigour.
Define Heterosis/ Hybrid vigor
Heterosis, also known as hybrid vigor, refers to the phenomenon where the offspring
of two different, genetically diverse parents exhibit traits superior to those of both
parents. This superiority can manifest in various aspects such as growth rate, fertility,
yield, or resistance to diseases. Heterosis occurs when the combination of genes from
two different parents results in offspring with enhanced characteristics compared to
either parent individually.
