The effect of the rearing system (intensive and semi intensive) and biological factors (genotype, age, sex) on absolute and index values of carcass conformation measures in chickens was investigated. In the trial Arbor Acres and Redbro chickens were used and duration of fattening was 42 and 50 days. Chickens at the age of 50 days had beter conformation compared to chickens at the age of 42 days. Carcass of male chickens had better conformation measures than chickens of Redbro genotype. Chickens reared in chicken coop had higher values for lenght of metatarsus, breast depth and thigh girth compared to chicken reared on free range.
