Abstract: In order to study the internal relationship among the Egg Quality Traits of Xuhai chicken,eggs of Xuhai chickens were selected and measured randomly.12 variables of theSinsideSqualitySofSegg traits and the egg shell quality traits of Xuhai chicken were analyzed using canonical correlation analysis.The results showed that: Egg weight, Yolk weight and Albumen height had highly significant or significant correlation with most traits.Other egg shell quality traits except Egg shape index also had highly significant or significant correlations with most traits.The results of canonical correlation analysis showed that the 1st canonical correlation coefficients between theSinsideSqualitySofSegg traits and the egg shell quality traits of Xuhai chicken were 0.8552(P<0.01),accounting for 79.67% of the total correlation. And the main traits for canonical correlation coefficients were Albumen height and eggshell thickness. The research results had certain guiding significance for the breeding of Xuhai chicken.
