| dc.description.abstract | A study was undertaken to evaluate the indigenous chicken in the Bidar district of Karnataka state for their morphometric characteristics under farm conditions. The 80% of the birds had yellow skin and 20% had white skin. Red (52%) earlobes were most common, followed by white (20%) and a combination of red and white (32%). All of the birds were single-combed. The (92%) red combed and (8%) black combed birds. The birds with wattles (54%) and without wattles (46%). The plumage colours were multi-colour, brown, black and white. Yellow was the primary shank colour, followed by black, green and white. The Mean ± SE values for body weight, wing length, shank length, shank width, and keel length in the present study at 2nd week of age were 71.04 ± 1.83 g, 50.32 ± 0.69 mm, 22.60 ± 0.26 mm, 3.37 ± 0.09 mm and 24.26 ± 0.44 mm, at 6th week of age were 187.20 ± 5.66 g, 74.62 ± 0.88 mm, 34.52 ± 0.54 mm, 4.31 ± 0.07 mm and 41.59 ± 0.61 mm, at 10th week of age were 358.20 ± 9.42 g, 95.85 ± 1.09 mm, 43.95 ± 0.76 mm, 5.88 ± 0.11 mm and 55.90 ± 0.65 mm, at 14th week of age were 637.90 ± 16.44 g, 114.20 ± 1.92 mm, 59.21 ± 0.94 mm, 7.74 ± 0.13 mm and 72.24 ± 0.87 mm, at 18th week of age were 921.00 ± 28.30 g, 130.40 ± 1.59 mm, 69.19 ± 1.32 mm, 9.69 ± 0.18 mm and 88.41 ± 0.95 mm and at 22nd week of age were 1137.00 ± 36.09 g, 141.60 ± 2.38 mm, 74.07 ± 1.39 mm, 10.70 ± 0.16 mm and 101.40 ± 1.05 mm, respectively. The coefficient of determination between the age and linear body measurements like wing length, shank length, shank width and keel length was 0.99 and all the parameters are found to be significantly different. Prediction equation can be used calculate the age of the desi birds. | |
