Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the strength of the correlation of phenotypic correlation between body weight before slaughter and meat yield (slaughter yields) chickens two hybrids (Coob 500 and Hubbard) at different ages which is closely related to the current demand in the market of Bosnia and Herzegovina (RS) and the environment and whether consumers are interested in one - portion "chicken" or prefabricated meats.

The determined data in this paper are to some extent are reaching the conclusion to which the period reasonably imaginative broiler chickens of Cobb 500, Hubbard or in relation to the fact that the hybrid show more fattening and carcass value.
