Broiler and Indigenous Chickens: A Comparison through Biochemical Parameters

Abstract

Broiler Indigenous chicken Lipid profile Liver function ANOVA MANOVA. Contribution/Originality: The paper's primary contribution is the finding that average levels of all biochemical parameters except AST are significantly lower for indigenous chicken as compared to broiler chicken. This can be considered as a guideline to the consumers in deciding which species of chickens are to be consumed. We confirm that this work is original and no part of the work has been published before. 1. INTRODUCTION The poultry sector is a dynamic sector which has potentiality not only for meeting protein supply but also for rapid poverty reduction through employment and income generation in Bangladesh.

Two-Part Modelling of Consumer Preferences for Native Chicken Meat: Sustainability Implications for Semi-Intensive and Intensive Production Systems

“…In contrast, among the 127 female respondents, 94 (74.02%) reported an inclination toward native chicken meat, with 33 (25.98%) indicating otherwise. There was also a highly signi cant (χ 2 = 12.74; p = 0.000) relationship between gender and preference for native chicken meat, where women showed a considerably higher predisposition for native chicken meat than men (Alam et al 2020). Age segment-based analysis of the tendency to consume native chicken meat revealed a signi cant association (χ 2 = 13.52; p = 0.009) between the two groups.…”

Leukocyte Profile of Broiler Slaughtered at a Chicken Slaughterhouse in Jimbaran Bali

“…Selain karena faktor metode yang digunakan, di berbagai wilayah di dunia, kendala hemato-biokimia pada berbagai jenis unggas dilaporkan berbeda-beda. Perbedaaan ras, strain, dan jenis kelamin, kebiasaan makan yang berbeda, dan suplemen pakan yang diberikan dilaporkan menyebabkan profil hematologi yang berbeda (Alam et al, 2020;Adewole et al, 2021;Muneer et al, 2021;Oyedele et al, 2021). Selain itu, juga dilaporkan bahwa adanya mikroorganisme yang berbeda (Alwaleed et al, 2021;Maoba et al, 2021), beberapa bagian bunga, minyak atsiri dan fitokimia (Abdulazeez et al, 2016;Abuoghaba, 2018;Iqbal dan Bayram, 2021;Sunu et al, 2021) terbukti memiliki dampak yang berpengaruh pada profil serum dan hemato-biokimia ayam.…”

Selling industrial "gallina criolla" products in Guatemala: Implications for consumers, producers, heritage, and biodiversity

“…However, several individual studies and meta-analyses (large-scale reviews of existing research) from around the world confirm that, compared to industrial systems (intensive and indoor), breast meat from poultry raised in free-range systems (extensive and outdoor) tends to have higher protein and lower fat content, lower cholesterol, higher Omega 3 content, and a healthier ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 93,94,95,96,97,98 . Meat from indigenous (aka native) hens in Asia, which are the most comparable to Guatemala's gallina criolla, has also been found to be of higher nutritional quality than that of commercial chickens 99,100,101,102,103,104 . Some of these studies additionally look at the appearance, White stripes on chicken breasts sold in a supermarket in Atlanta, Georgia, USA in July 2022.…”
