Abstract
The different breeds used as female line to produce experimental crossbreds were
AK, AP, K, F, NN, RIR and IWP strain of WLH whereas B was used as male line. The
only reciprocal cross produced was RIR X B. Thus, a total of eight different crossbreds
were evolved for the present study. Simultaneously purebred population of K, AK, AP,
NN, F and RIR were produced and maintained in three replicate as a control for
comparison. The crossbreds were compared among themselves for body weight, weight
gain, total feed consumption, FCR, and mortality, heterosis, economics in terms of EPEI
and crossbreds were also compared for body weight and weight gain with purebreed
control of each crossbred
