Abstract
The material used in this investigation was obtained from the Department of Poultry Science at the Stellenbosch-Elsenburg College of Agriculture. A White Leghorn flock was established in 1953 from a cross between two unrelated lines and was, from that time, closed to outside introduction and inbreeding avoided as far as possible. An inbreeding rate of 0.515% per generation was achieved. A pedigreed, random-breeding, genetic flock was selected on the basis of increased egg production and, since 1969, has been kept as a production flock (Poggenpoel and Erasmus 1978).
