Abstract: Using individual egg production records of Yuzhou Brown Layer in 1990-1991,three commonly used early selection methods-40、weeks synthetic selection index of individ-uals, 40-week total egg mass and optimum egg number of early periods were compared. The results showed that the best system was "40 -week total egg mass".In order to accelerategenetic advance and not to influence the accuracy of early selection, the proper fraction savedfor breeding is the lower when it is in 30-35% or 35-40%, and the higher is better when it is below 30%.

Key words: Layer, Early selection, Genetic advence
