Abstract
The aim of this work is to define the correlation between the proportion of breast, thigh and drumstick relative to the weight before slaughter in relation to the weight of dressed grill ready carcass in two broiler hybrids (Hubbard and Cobb 500) at different ages (40 or 42 days). Positive correlation between the carcass prior to slaughtering and share of breasts, thighs and drumsticks, at the age of 40 (Hubbard) and 42 (Cobb 500) days, was monitored in Cobb 500 (except between the carcass before slaughter males and stakes thighs and drumsticks), and in line Hubbard (except between the carcass prior to slaughtering and share of breast in both sexes collectively). Positive correlation between the carcass processed for barbecue and shares breasts, thighs and drumsticks of the genotypes, in Cobb 500 (except between the carcass prior to slaughter men throat and share thighs and drumsticks), and Hubbard (except between the carcass prior to slaughtering and share of breast in both sexes collectively) at the age of 40 (Hubbard) and 42 (Cobb 500) days, was monitored.
Key words: correlation; weight before slaughter; share of breasts, thighs and drumsticks; dressed grill ready carcass weight; Coob 500, Hubbard.
