The foreign hybrid lines Hybro, Hubbard and Ross were compared with 2 Yugoslav lines, Prelux 1 and Prelux Bro, in a trial with 150 chicks of each line. At 56 days 12 birds of each sex from each group were killed for carcass studies. Day-old chicks of Prelux 1 had a mean weight of only 35.69 g compared with over 40 g for Prelux Bro, Hubbard and Hybro, but the Prelux 1 had the greatest final weight, 1746 g, followed by the Hybro at 1628 g.
