A study was conducted to compare the carcass characteristics and meat composition of a triple cross progeny involving (Hansli × CSML) ♂and CSFL ♀ chicken, taken as the treatment group, with that of a cross of coloured synthetic broiler parent lines (CSML ♂ × CSFL ♀) chicken, taken as the control group, raised under intensive management system. Six healthy birds of 8 weeks of age from each group were sacrificed for this purpose. The pre-slaughtered live weight, eviscerated weight and dressed weight were ±, ± and ± in the treatment group whereas the corresponding weights were ±, ± and ± in the control group. | Evaluation of carcass traits and meat composition of triple cross progenies of Hansli, CSML and CSFL chickens
