Investigation of the relationship between some weight and blood parameters in broi̇ler chicken by canonic corelation analysis

In this study, the relationships between some weight and blood parameters in broiler chickens were examined by canonical correlation analysis. For this purpose, Ross 308 data obtained from a study on temperature stress in Gaziosmanpaşa University Agricultural Research Center were used. Data were divided into two clusters: some weight characteristics of broiler chickens and X variable set (live weight, heart weight, liver weight and abdominal fat weight) blood parameters and Y variable set (glucose level, cholesterol level and hematocrit) values. In the study, the largest Pearson correlation coefficient calculated between the properties was calculated as 0.469 between liver and heart. The largest canonical correlation coefficient calculated between the first pair of canonical variables was found to be 0.600 between the first pair of canonical variables (P <0.01). According to the findings of the study, canonical weights (0.821) and canonical loads (0.804) made the highest contribution to liver weight. Therefore, it could be a criterion for estimating blood parameters.
