The present investigation was conducted on White Leghorn breed with 31 female progenies from 16 dams and 4 sires of control and 100 progenies from 80 dams and 13 sires of fullsib population. A total of 90 pedigreed eggs of control and 503 pedigreed eggs of fullsib families were analysed. After 1 month of sexual maturity the eggs were utilized for egg quality traits. From wing vein of each bird 2 ml of blood was collected at the age of sexual maturity for biochemical parameters. The egg quality traits in inbred and control population were of the same magnitude. The total plasma protein and cholesterol were higher in control population than in inbred lines. The genetic correlation between biochemical parameters of blood plasma and egg quality traits were positive and larger than the phenotypic correlations.
