Helminthic parasites in indigenous chickens in Penang Island, Malaysia

Tropical Biomedicine, 2020
Indigenous chicken (Gallus domesticus) is reared for both its meat and eggs. Most consumers prefer the meat probably due to its specific texture and taste. The study was conducted to determine the presence of helminth parasites of 240 indigenous chickens (Gallus domesticus) obtained randomly from 12 divisions in Penang Island, Malaysia.

Ex situ improvement of indigenous chicken in Bangladesh

Tropical Agricultural Research, 2015
This work is part of a long-term selection program carried out (i) to assess the performance of three indigenous chicken genotypes under intensive management and (ii) to evaluate the response to selection of three indigenous chicken genotypes. A total of

Chicken microchromosomes are hyperacetylated, early replicating, and gene rich [PDF]

, 1998
The chicken karyotype consists of 39 chromosomes of which 33 are classed as microchromosomes (MICs). MICs contain about one third of genomic DNA. The majority of mapped chicken genes are assigned to macrochromosomes (MACs), but a recent study indicated ...

Study on Coccidiosis of Scavenging Indigenous Chickens in Central Ethiopia

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2004
An investigation was made into coccidiosis of 190 scavenging indigenous chickens between September 2000 and April 2001 in three selected agroclimatic zones, in central Ethiopia. This was done through clinical, postmortem and microscopic examinations. Data were processed by chi-square and Mantel-Haenzel test.

Comparative study of indigenous chickens on the basis of their health and performance

Poultry Science, 2020
Three hundred crossbred chickens (at age of 11 wk) were randomly housed in 15 open-sided deep litter pens with 20 chickens in each pen under completely randomized design for a period of 9 wk. Before evaluating their hematobiochemical and carcass characteristics, the birds were provided with grower mash ad libitum throughout the experimental period ...

Conducting research with Indigenous people and communities [PDF]

, 2013
Past critiques of the social sciences focused primarily on the identity of the researcher and his or her relationship with the ‘subject’ Indigenous person, but over time more sophisticated and practical approaches have emerged related to ...

Genetic diversity and population structure of locally adapted South African chicken lines: Implications for conservation. [PDF]

, 2008
In this study microsatellite markers were applied to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of the six local chicken lines kept in the “Fowls for Africa” program, for better clarification of parameters for breed differentiation and ...

Regional differences in recombination hotspots between two chicken populations [PDF]

, 2010
Background Although several genetic linkage maps of the chicken genome have been published, the resolution of these maps is limited and does not allow the precise identification of recombination hotspots. The availability of more than 3.2 million SNPs in

Evidence of balancing selection in multiple indigenous chicken populations

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2016
Microsatellite DNA markers, which are assumed to drift, have been widely used to assess genetic diversity in all major domestic animal species. These markers provide insight into the arrival and dispersion history of a species, with regard to their content or management history.

Genetic diversity, population structure and ancestral origin of KwaZulu-Natal native chicken ecotypes using microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA markers

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2020
South African native chicken breeds are no exception to the declining of local domestic breeds that has long been recognised and found associated with the commercialisation of breeding in domestic animals.
