To allow tridiagonalization of the coefficient matrix when RAM is considered the approach of Thompson and Meyer 1990 using an imaginary random effect with negative variance was implemented. Canonical transformation was also employed. REML estimation carried out on 15 random samples of w 7 000 recorded hens drawn from each of 2 data files corresponding to 2 different strains showed a rather small genetic antagonism between the group of egg production traits and egg density on one hand and that of egg weights on the other hand. Weight of hens behaved differently in the 2 strains. It showed also that traits within these groups were positively correlated. Heritabilities obtained by univariate and multivariate analyses were very similar and were lower for egg production traits from 0.09 to 0.27 than for egg characteristics or weight of hens from 0.34 to 0.48 . egg production genetic parameter restricted maximum .
