Locomotion of commercial broilers and indigenous chickens [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2016
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the steadiness of broilers during the stance phase of locomotion, and the primary disorders of the locomotor system and gait. The experimental design was completely randomized, in a factorial arrangement (2 × 2 + 32), indicating two sexes and two genetic commercial strains, with five ...

Genetic diversity and population structure of indigenous chicken breeds in South China [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2016
A total of 587 individuals from 12 indigenous chicken breeds from South China and two commercial breeds were genotyped for 26 microsatellites to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure. All microsatellites were found to be polymorphic.

Cold stress elevates HSP70, TLR2 and TLR4 of indigenous chicken

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2022
The study revealed that cold stress elevates the expression of HSP70, TLR2 and TL4 of indigenous chicken. Increase in expression of HSP70 was most likely to have cryoprotective properties by elevating the TLR2 and TLR4 of indigenous chicken during cold ...

Indigenous Chicken production in Niger

Veterinary and Animal Science, 2019
The breeding of local chicken is an important source of animal protein and income for the rural populations of Niger, and the improvement of its productivity requires a better knowledge of production practices. Hence, a socio-economic and technical survey was undertaken from July to August 2017 in order to provide necessary information on the practice ...

Reproductive characteristics of indigenous village chickens

Poultry Science and Management, 2023
Abstract Indigenous village chickens (IVCs) display a wide variation in production performance and reproductive characteristics. This variation is ascribed to genetic and environmental factors and gene-environment interactions. This work reports the results of a cross-sectional study recorded using a face-to-face interview of 119 small-scale ...

Genome diversity of Chinese indigenous chicken and the selective signatures in Chinese gamecock chicken [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractGamecock chickens are one of the earliest recorded birds in China, and have accumulated some unique morphological and behavioral signatures such as large body size, muscularity and aggressive behavior, whereby being excellent breeding materials and a good model for studying bird muscular development and behavior. In this study, we sequenced 126

Geographic Origin and Genetic Characteristics of Japanese Indigenous Chickens Inferred from Mitochondrial D-Loop Region and Microsatellite DNA Markers

Animals, 2020
Japanese indigenous chickens have a long breeding history, possibly beginning 2000 years ago. Genetic characterization of Japanese indigenous chickens has been performed using mitochondrial D-loop region and microsatellite DNA markers. Their phylogenetic
