“…The difference in egg weight might be attributed to the age of the chickens at the time of egg collection in the field. Dalal et al (2019) reported comparatively higher egg weight in Aseel while egg weight of Kadaknath chicken was comparable with the present results. Jena et al (2018) found that the egg weight of Kadaknath chickens was 42.90 g. The weight of the Kadaknath eggs ranged from 40.31 to 41.3g, according to Haunshi et al (2011) and Valavan et al (2016) and this was in correspondence with the present findings.…”

Egg quality parameters are very crucial for the egg industry as egg configuration affects grading, price, hatchability, chick weight, and consumer preference. Current study was undertaken to assess and compare the egg quality parameters in 2 important Indian breeds Aseel and Kadaknath reared under backyard system. Different parameters of external and internal egg quality were measured. Biochemical parameters of egg yolk estimated were egg yolk cholesterol, high density lipoprotein ( HDL ), low density lipoprotein ( LDL ), and triacylglycerol. Means for external characters of Aseel eggs viz., egg weight, egg length, egg width, shape index, shell weight, shell thickness, and shell ratio were 41.7 g, 5.16 cm, 3.85 cm, 74.75%, 4.65 g, 0.35 mm, and 11.23%, and corresponding values for Kadaknath eggs were 40.59 g, 5.13 cm, 3.79 cm, 74.02%, 4.28 g, 0.34 mm, and 10.61%, respectively. Average albumin length, width, height, and albumin index were 83.73 mm, 65.4 mm, 6.02 mm, and 9.26% for Aseel eggs and 82.27 mm, 64.80 mm, 5.52 mm and 8.52% for Kadaknath eggs, respectively. Mean values for yolk length, width, height and yolk index were 43.32 mm, 40.10 mm, 15.30 mm, and 38.30% in Aseel and 42.15 mm, 38.97 mm, 14.26 mm and 36.66% in Kadaknath breed, respectively. Mean values for egg yolk cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triacylglycerol were estimated as 9.38, 1.74, 0.17, and 1.94 mg/g in Aseel eggs and 8.38, 1.84, 0.11, and 1.76 mg/g in Kadaknath eggs, respectively. Biochemical analysis revealed that egg yolk quality of Kadaknath eggs was comparatively better than Aseel eggs.

“…Body weight at 20 weeks was 1539.86 ± 15.08g which was in standard range as that of reported in Gramapriya female line [7], in Vanaraja [8], in Nandanam Chicken IV [9]. Steady increase in bodyweight was observed in bodyweights recorded at 40 and 52 weeks which were comparable with Dahlem Red and Dahlem Red x Desi [10], in Aseel [11], Kamarupa chicken [12]. However, there was slight increase in body weight from 52 to 64 week of age which might be due to better feed intake at later stages of production cycle.…”

The present study was aimed at evaluating the performance of Gramapriya female line (PD-3) chicken reared under intensive system for production. Data collected on 619 hens, produced from 50 sires and 250 dams in a pedigreed full-sib mating in five hatches during 9th generation, were utilized for the present investigation at ICAR-Directorate of Poultry Research, Hyderabad. Hens attained sexual maturity (ASM) at 153.88 ± 1.38days. The body weight of hens (

“…These birds can thrive under low input backyard and free-range farming in tropical conditions that are otherwise harsh to the improved exotic breeds. Kadaknath is a slow-growing bird, and its growth rate is lesser than that reported for Aseel, a famous native chicken breed of India [ 3 ]. The meat of this breed is considered to be a delicacy due to its perceived taste and flavour.…”

The study was carried out to investigate the carcass and meat quality traits and nutritional profile of the meat of the Kadaknath, a unique native chicken breed in comparison with commercial broilers. The yield of the carcass, breast and giblets of the Kadaknath was lesser (p < 0.01), while that of the legs, wings, back, and neck was higher (p < 0.01) than broilers. The meat of the Kadaknath was significantly (p < 0.0001) darker (42.44, 50.92) and more yellow (6.23, 8.99) than broilers. The decline in pH of the meat was lower (p < 0.001) in the Kadaknath compared to broilers. Kadaknath meat had more protein and less fat, moisture and ash content than broilers (p < 0.01). Furthermore, it was richer (p < 0.01) in 11 amino acids, including those which are known to impart a sweet and umami taste, than the meat of broilers (3 amino acids). Both genotypes were almost similar in meeting the daily requirements of indispensable amino acids of adult human. The study concluded that the Kadaknath differed in carcass and meat quality characteristics from the broilers, and the nutritional quality of Kadaknath meat in terms of high protein and less fat and higher content of amino acids (tasty type) was better in Kadaknath meat as compared to broiler meat.
