Abstract

There are various types of native chickens in Nusa Tenggara Timur Indonesia that have the opportunity to be developed such as Sabu chicken, Semau chicken, and also KUB chicken. So that the selection of seeds from these chickens can be done earlier, it is necessary to know the magnitude of the correlation value between various ages of growth, so that the selection can be done earlier. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation of several growth traits of three genetic groups of native chickens, namely Sabu chickens, Semau chickens, and KUB chickens that were reared intensively from 0-8 weeks of age. This study used a completely randomized design. All correlation data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation, using SPSS Release 21. The results showed that there was a high positive correlation value between DOC weight and body weight at 8 weeks of age, so that DOC weight could be used as a selection basis for body weight 8 weeks old.
