Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A comparative study between native and broiler chicken was conducted to determine, assess and compare the availability, live weight, sale price, morphology, and meat yield in the 3 selected areas; Gazipur, Savar, and Mymensingh Sadar Upazila in Bangladesh. A pretested survey schedule was used, containing both open-ended and closed-ended questions in collecting data by the author himself through visits to the study area. The study was concerned about the availability, live weight, sale price, morphology, and meat yield. The proportionate availability of Broiler (Br) was higher (190 times) than Naked Neck (Na) and seven times that of Indigenous Full-feathered (na). However, the availability is about 28 times higher than that of Na. The bodyweight of Na and na chicken was lower in comparison to Br. The price of Na and na chicken stood almost doubled than that of Br chicken. The Br chicken is sold in specifically organized shops along with other commodities. Whereas Na and na were sold by owners or middlemen in temporary places. There were huge variations among the morphological characters of Na and na considering live weight, length of shank, body, shank, wattle and comb type, the color of comb, skin, beak, shank, wattle, plumage, feather, egg peel, and egg weight. Among the meat yield characteristics live weight was found significantly higher in Br followed by na and Na. It was concluded that the proportion of Br population exceeded both Na and na chicken indicating the invasion of Br to Na and na chicken. These phenomena of invasion may be a serious side back in the population of valuable genomic extinction among the local germplasm.

Keywords: Native chicken, Indigenous chicken, Broiler, Morphology

Location: Gazipur, Savar, and Mymensingh Sadar Upazila in Bangladesh.

Start Date: 00-01-2012

End Date: 00-02-2012

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Chicken

Objectives:

To compare the Morphological and Meat Yield characteristics of Males and Females of the individuals of Na, na, and Broilers.

Methodology:

Data for this study were collected during January and February 2012. This study was based on the availability, morphology, and meat yield characteristics of three different types of chicken (Naked neck: Na, full feathered: na, and broiler: br) obtained in different markets; Gazipur, Savar, and Mymensingh Sadar Upazila in Bangladesh. A pretested schedule was prepared considering the number of chickens in selected areas, live weight of chicken,s and sale price. The selection of parameters included study areas, market within the selected areas, techniques of data collection, study period, survey criteria, and selection of morphological characters. A representative of three genotypes was selected to have the meat yield (Figure 11 to 16) of three genotypes were determined and compared. Different phenotypic variants such as live weight, length of body, shank, and wattle, comb type and color, skin color, beak, shank, wattle, plumage, feather, egg peel, and egg weight were observed. Also, the meat yield characters were noted by slaughtering and eviscerating the parts of the dressed meat of the chicken of three genotypes. All recorded data of this experiment were analyzed by Analysis of Variance for Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using a GENSTAT statistical package to compare the effect of genotype, location, and genotype-location interaction on the availability of Na, na, and Br chicken and the effect of genotypes on the meat yield characters. Standard Errors of Difference (SED) and LSD Least Significant Difference (LSD) were used to find out the significant differences.

Achievement/Findings:

The study was concerned with the availability, live weight, sale price, morphology, and meat yield. The proportionate availability was highest (190 times than Na and seven times than na) in Broiler (Br). However, the availability is high (28 times) than that of Na. However, the bodyweight of Na and na chicken was lower in comparison with Br. The most important scenario was that the price of Na and na chicken stood almost doubled that of Br chicken. The Br chicken is sold in specifically organized shops along with other commodities, while Na and na were sold in temporary places by owners or middlemen. In the case of the morphology of Na and na chicken, there were huge variations among chickens considering live weight, length of shank, body, shank, wattle and comb type, the color of comb, skin, beak, shank, wattle, plumage, feather, eggpeel and egg weight. It was concluded that the proportion of Br population exceeded both Na and na chicken indicating the invasion of Br to Na and na chicken. These phenomena of invasion may be a serious side back in the population of valuable genomic extinction among the local germplasm.
