E Method] Three chicken breeds, Shiqiza chickens (a breed preserved by Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences), Langya chickens (a local breed in Shandong Province) and Luqin B2 chickens (a cultivated breed) were selected. Then their broodiness traits were observed and the egg productions were analyzed. Finally, the relationships between the egg production traits and broodiness were analyzed by SAS software. [ Result] The Shiqiza, Langya and Luqin B2. chickens were broody and their broodiness rate was 15.80%, 2.24% and 6.95%, respectively. Compared with the non-broody chickens, the egg productions of Shiqiza, Langya and Luqin B2 chickens were respectively decreased by 17.16%, 1.53% and 10.8% at the age of 43 weeks. The three breeds had significant differences in repeats of broody cycles ( P 〈 0.05), and extremely significant differences in the broodiness duration, the the first day of broodiness, the age at the first egg, total amount of abnormal eggs and amount of double- yolked eggs (P 〈 0.01 ). [Conclusion] The broodiness is a main factor affecting egg production traits. The degree of effects of broodiness on egg production traits is decreased successively in Shiqiza chicken, Luqin B2 chicken and Langya chicken.展开更多
