BW0 = birth weight (g); BW2, BW4, and BW6 = body weight at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age (g), respectively; BrC6 = breast circumference at 6 weeks of age (cm); ADG0–2, ADG0–4, and ADG0–6 = average daily gain at 0–2, 0–4, and 0–6 weeks of age, respectively; KKU1 = crossbred chicken between commercial broiler and Thai indigenous synthetic chickens (Kaimook e-san1); KKU2 = crossbred chicken between Kaimook e-san2 and Kaimook e-san1 (both of which are Thai indigenous synthetic chickens).
