tailieunhanh - Socio-economic condition of Khadia poultry farmers and phenotypic characteristics of Khadia chickenof Northern Odisha, India

The present study was undertaken to study thesocio-economic status of Khadia Chicken rearers along with phenotypic characteristics Khadia Chicken in two tribal districts of Northern Odisha. The sample size constituted two hundred households rearing 1435 Khadia chicken. The study revealed that % of the poultry rearers earned per year which is a substantial amount to support their livelihood. The qualitative characteristics like plumage colour, shank colour, skin colour, wattle type, comb type and fighting characteristics are quite distinct than the other native chicken of Odisha. The quantitative characteristics such as annual egg production, egg weight, fertility, body weight, mortality, shank length and keel length are different from the registered native breed of Odisha-Hansli. The results showed that annual egg production of Khadia native chicken averaged to ± and fertility was found ± %. The male adult body weight was ± g and adult female weight ± g. The shank length in male is ± cm whereas the females shank length ± cm. These research-outcomes may serve as baseline information for the academicians, researchers and breeders for chalking out future breeding strategy for improvement of native chicken. | Socio-economic condition of Khadia poultry farmers and phenotypic characteristics of Khadia chickenof Northern Odisha, India
