dc.description.abstractA study was undertaken to evaluate the S1 generation of indigenous chicken pertaining to Bengaluru and Mysore divisions of Karnataka, being maintained at AICRP on Poultry Breeding for Meat, Bengaluru centre and to compare with S0 generation for morphological and production traits as per NBAGR proforma. The morphological features recorded revealed 100% normal feather morphology indicating no structural variations in feather such as frizzle, silky and crested. The most prevalent plumage colour observed was brown followed by mixed and black. The most prevalent primary plumage pattern observed was solid, dull, patchy and mottled. The major secondary plumage pattern observed was self-red and self-black colour. Other secondary plumage patterns recorded were self-white, self-blue, mottled, barred and lacing. All the birds evaluated had red ear lobes. Major eye colour observed was brown and grey. Majority of birds had yellow shank. The predominant egg shell colour recorded was brown followed by light brown and creamy. The average egg weight of indigenous chicken ranged from 45.22 g to 46.53 g. The shape index was between 74 to 75. The average values for albumen weight, albumen index, yolk weight, yolk index, Haugh unit score and shell thickness of the eggs ranged from 23 g to 24 g, 0.061 to 0.068, 14 g to 16 g, 0.42 to 0.44, 65 to 70 and 0.35 mm. The present study indicated no significant difference between the two generations with respect to morphological and performance parameters.en_US
