This study of the relative effects of inbreeding and outbreeding on reproduction in
the domestic fowl is based on two years’ observations of triallel matings of hens
having an inbred, outbred, and crossbred origin. (P. 529.) Among the many relations
established by these observations and reported in the following pages, the data with
respect to inbreeding and outbreeding show that:
Fertility was influenced indirectly but not directly by the breeding system. Hens of an inbred
origin were definitely less fertile than those of an outbred origin, irrespective
of the kind of male to which they were mated. (P. 535.)
Hatchability decreased with inbreeding of outbred females (F = 0 to F = .25) but did not decrease
with further inbreeding of inbred females. Inbred females showed lower hatchability
than outbred females whatever the system of mating, but the difference was not statistically
significant. (P. 547.)
Mean blastoderm diameter of unincubated eggs and number of somites in embryos after 38 hours incubation were
smaller under inbreeding than outbreeding, and greater under outcrossing than crossbreeding.
(P. 560.)
The general fertility-hatchability relationship observed was not altered by origin or genetic relation, or by system of mating. Closely
inbred matings of birds with an outbred origin showed a negative correlation between
fertility and hatchability which supports the view that fertility is distinct from
hatchability. (P. 611.)
