A Survey Study on Productive and Reproductive Performance of Indigenous Poultry

Abstract: A survey study was conducted to analyze the reproductive and productive performances of four indigenous chicken breeds (Potchefstroom Koekoek, Venda, Naked Neck and Ovambo) under different rearing system. Six villages located in Eastern Cape, South Africa were used for the study from July 2017 to June 2018. Data on Clutch Per Year (CPY), hatchability (HATCH), Egg Per Clutch (EGC), survivability at 10-12 weeks (SURV), Egg Per Year (EPY), Recovery Period (RP), average age at production (AA), Duration of Rearing … Show more

“…The difference of target eggs is due to the effect of the egg-laying cycle (clutch) of hen, which directly affects daily egg production. Egg per clutch is influenced by hen's genetics (Idowu et al, 2019). Current research shows that the target egg was relatively high at peak production in Arabic chickens.…”

“…It is important to note that poultry production is a viable and ever-growing business among other agricultural-related businesses in South Africa, as it accounts for the most affordable protein sources [ 3 ]. Recently, there have been cases of sunken eyes, breathing difficulties, reduced egg quality, and decreased egg production in the sampled chicken breeds which are all symptoms related to MG and MS [ 19 , 26 , 27 ].…”
