Canonical Correlation Analysis on Egg Production Traits of Quails

Abstract

In this study, canonical correlation analysis was applied to quail data for estimating egg productions. The model is defined that weight at sexual maturity (SMW), hatch time and chick length traits are the first set of variables (X); egg number of total 10 weeks that were weekly collected from age of first egg to 10th weeks and egg weight traits of this total 10 weeks are the second set of variables (Y). For obtaining the maximum relationship between sets of variables was aimed. Canonical variables were constructed from the linear combinations of the variables in each set. First canonical correlation between the first and the second pair of canonical variates were found 0.41 and statistically significant (P<0.01). Canonical weights and loadings from canonical correlation analysis indicated that SMW had the largest contribution as compared with hatch time and chick length to variation of egg number of total 10 weeks, egg weight of total 10 weeks.
