Genetic parameters of two types of angulations, described in the twisted legs syndrome as ’valgus’ and bilateral or unilateral ’varus’, were investigated in two commercial broiler strains. In the first line, 14 264 chickens of both sexes born from 111 sires, 76 maternal grandsires and 768 dams were studied. In the second line, corresponding figures were 8 164 chickens of both sexes born from 94 sires, 71 maternal grandsires and 553 dams. Chickens were classified at 6 weeks according to the type of pathology. Since deformities under study were unordered categorical traits, a generalized linear model using a multinomial logistic transformation as link function was applied. Location parameters were estimated by ’maximum a posteriori’, ...
