Genetic and Sex Differences in Carcass Traits of Nigerian Indigenous Chickens
Genetic and sex differences or variation in carcass characteristic and slaughter yield were studied using a total of 150 intensively reared and clinically normal chickens consisted of 50 each of normal feather, naked neck and frizzled matured chickens genotypes. The result showed that genotype as well as sex have significant effect (P<0.05) on carcass characteristics and slaughter yield at twen...
متن کاملEvaluation of Models to Describe Temporal Growth in Local Chickens of Ghana
The logistic, Gompertz, Richards and asymmetric logistic growth curve models were fitted to body weight data of local Ghanaian chickens and French SASSO T44 chickens. All four growth models provided good fit for each sex by genotype growth data with R2 values ranging from 86.7% to 96.7%. The rate constant parameter, k, ranged between 0.137 and 0.271 and were significantly different from zero fo...
متن کاملEffect of Ambient Temperature on Reproductive and Physiological Traits of Nigerian Indigenous Chickens
Genetic adaptation and response to selection depend on genetic variation within and between populations, whereas characterization of the population is a first step towards its improvement. This study demonstrates that variation in genotypes observed in reproductive performance observed among the Nigeria indigenous chicken under the tropical ambient temperature could be explained by the differen...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Avian Leukosis Virus Antigen Using ELISA Technique in Exotic Broilers and Nigerian Local Chickens in Zaria, Nigeria
In an attempt to determine the seroprevalence of avian leukosis virus (ALV) in exotic broiler chickens and Nigerian local chickens in Zaria, Nigeria, a total of 600 sera (300 from exotic broiler chickens and 300 from Nigerian local chickens), obtained from the live bird market in Zaria, Nigeria, were tested for ALV p27 antigen by the antigen capture enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ac-ELISA) ...
متن کاملEnvironmental and Genetic Factors Affecting Early Growth Traits in Three Yemeni Indigenous Sheep Breeds
The data were collected from 1992 to 2009 in Burri, White Boni and Black Boni sheep maintained at the Regional Research Station in the Central Highlands of Yemen. Data were analyzed to study the effects of environmental and genetic factors on body weight and growth rate from birth to weaning. The least square means for body weights (BW) were 2.54, 2.18 and 2.26 kg for birth; 12.49, 10.58 and 11...
