Understanding the complex origin of domesticated populations is of vital importance for understanding, preserving and exploiting breed genetic diversity. Here, we aim to assess Asian contributions to European traditional breeds and western commercial chickens for mitochondrial genetic diversity. ...

This study describes the variations in the physical features and the useful attributes of different populations of indigenous chickens. Five populations of chickens in different regions of Ethiopia were studied based on 13 qualitative traits recorded for a total of 1 125 chickens. Additional meas...

1. White leghorns at the Central Poultry Farm averaged egg production than 50% white Leghorn x Baladi crosses (148 to 132 eggs) under controlled test conditions for a 10 month period in the year 1958/59, but the latter survived slightly better (52% as compared to 65%).
2. White Leghorns lived and...

This study was carried out to investigate the productivity and the natural disease resistance potential of free-ranging local chickens in Tanzania. A total of 84 adult free-ranging local chicken ecotypes were studied, namely: Mbeya, Morogoro-medium, Ching’wekwe, Kuchi and Singamagazi. Adult body ...

SUMMARY. Our collection and genetic characterization of various indigenous chicken genotypes in Nigeria started in 1984 at the National Animal Production Research Institute, Shika, Zaria, (Shika Brown) in 1994 at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria (FUNAAB) and in 2014 in Oba...

A study on characterization of local chicken eco-type for functional traits and production system was conducted at Fogera woreda of the Amhara National Regional state. Fogera woreda is one of the eight woredas bordering Lake Tana and it is predominantly classified as woinadega ecology while the a...
