Abstract: | Six broiler flocks have been compared with regard to the occurrence of attributes according to an examination protocol. Approved birds were scrutinized per random sample, condemned birds altogether. Parameters of examination were body weight occurring attributes (computed single and cumulated) count of dead and condemned birds in fattening period, transport and on slaughter line as well. Each flock was conspicuous in one or another respect. The graduation of the flocks was possible using the factors losses in the fattening period count of condemnation losses in the total production line coefficient of variation of weights attributes occurring in the meat inspection cumulated count of all attributes leading to condemnation. Results demonstrate, that graduation of different flocks by means of quantitative measurements is possible. |
