Efforts that can be made to improve the performance of native chickens are by crossing them with Bangkok chickens. The results crosses between Kampung and expected pass down good growth genes. This study used 66 consisting 33 pure from x cross-reared DOC until age eight weeks. Every week body weights measurements parts carried out. was analyzed using T-test compare cross Body were significantly...

Chicken growth hormone (cGH), a polypeptide hormone synthesized in and secreted by the pituitary gland, is involved in a wide variety of physiological functions such as growth, body composition, egg production, aging, and reproduction. Chicken growth hormone polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with certain phenotypes. Our objective is to investigate the GH gene polymorphism in sel...

Chickens have been in Papua New Guinea since the time of the Austronesian settlements some 2000-3000 years ago. In historical times, new types of poultry were introduced. Chicken keeping slowly spread but only recently into the highlands. From the late 1960s through the 1980s, serious attempts were made to improve village poultry production through the distribution of dualpurpose chickens and M...

Shrimp waste contains protein that binds to chitin and is difficult digest by poultry, so it necessary carry out a fermentation process using Bacillus licheniformis, Lactobacillus sp., Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This study was conducted determine the Effect of fermented shrimp products resulted in optimal conversion meat protein, carcass weight, abdominal fat native chickens. The method used com...

A study has been directed towards a better understanding how the Aseel, Kadaknath and White Leghorn immune system responds to multi-determinant antigen, sheep red blood cells. In contemporary commercial poultry production myriad of Viral and bacterial diseases being lingering menace to poultry industry and retort to prevent and control them are needed due to enormous production losses. Our rese...

In order to evaluate the genetic diversity and discrimination among five Korean native chicken lines, a total of 86 individuals were genotyped using 150 microsatellite (MS) markers, and 15 highly polymorphic MS markers were selected. Based on the highest value of the number of alleles, the expected heterozygosity (He) and polymorphic information content (PIC) for the selected markers ranged fro...

The use of Korean native chicken is increasing, and the discovery of new genetic resources is very important from both economic and genetic conservation points of view. In this study, mtDNA D-loop sequences from 272 privately-owned Korean native chickens from a Hyunin farm were investigated. Seventeen nucleotide substitutions were identified from the sequence analysis and they were classified a...

Poultry production is an important economic activity on inhabited islands of the Galápagos archipelago. There has been a recent surge in both small-scale backyard chickens and larger scale broiler production associated with growth in the human population and the tourist industry. With increased poultry production, concerns have been expressed about the increasing risk of transfer of disease fro...
