“…Meanwhile, Thai native chicken has been appreciated by consumers for the flavor and texture of tender meat [23,24]. In addition, the Thai native chicken line called Pradu Hang dum was developed, and their genetics were improved until satisfying the growth performance, egg production, and fertility [25][26][27][28][29], resulting in promotion by the Network Center for Animal Breeding and Omics Research (NCAB), Faculty of Agriculture, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Therefore, crossbreeding programs are preferred to utilize the sound characteristics of those chickens to possibly exploit the phenomenon of heterosis to evolve a more resistant hybrid chicken including the upgrading local types with suitable exotic ones.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the combining abilities and heterosis for the growth performance and carcass characteristics in crosses between Hmong black-bone (HB), Chinese black-bone (CB), and Thai native (TN) chickens using a mating system diallel crossing. Nine crossbred chickens including HB × HB, CB × CB, TN × TN, HB × TN, TN × HB, CB × HB, HB × CB, TN × CB, and CB × TN, were tested. The total data were 699 recorded at the beginning of the experiment to 595 recorded in weeks 14 of age. Body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and survival rate (SUR) were recorded. Heterosis and combining ability regarding general combining ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA), and reciprocal combining ability (RCA) were estimated. The study found that CB had the greatest BW and ADG at all weeks (p < 0.05) except for hatch, while those of HB were the lowest. The highest GCA was found in CB; meanwhile, GCA was significantly negative in HB of all ages. Crossing between TN × CB had the greatest BW from 8 weeks of age, which was related to positive SCA and RCA values. However, the RCA value of TN × CB was lower than the SCA value of CB × TN. The yield percentages of the carcass in CB (87.00%) were higher than those in TN (85.05%) and HB (82.91%) (p < 0.05). The highest breast and thigh meat lightness (L*) values were obtained in TN (p < 0.05), while those of CB and HB were not different (p > 0.05). In the crossbreed, the yield percentage of the carcass was highest in TN × CB (89.65%) and CB × TN (88.55%) (p > 0.05) and was lowest in TN × HB (71.91%) (p < 0.05). The meat and skin color of the breast and thigh parts in the crossbreed had the lowest lightness in HB × CB (27.91 to 38.23) (p < 0.05), while those of TN × CB and CB × TN were insignificant (p > 0.05). In conclusion, crossing between the TN sires and CB dams has the preferable potential to develop crossbred Thai native chickens for commercial use based on their high growth performance.

“…From a marketing perspective, indigenous chicken meat has been proven to stand out in many respects, such as its good-quality meat, delicious taste, and use as a health food [8][9][10]. However, the main disadvantage of indigenous chickens is their slow growth [5,11,12]. As a result, it takes longer to raise them to market weight.…”

To improve the body weight and growth performance traits of crossbred Thai indigenous chickens, phenotypic performance and genetic values were estimated. Crossbred Thai indigenous chickens, designated KKU1 and KKU2, were compared. The data included 1375 records of body weight (BW0, BW2, BW4, and BW16), breast circumference at 6 weeks of age (BrC6), and average daily gain (ADG0–2, ADG0–4, and ADG0–6). A multi-trait animal model with the average information-restricted maximum likelihood (AI-REML) was used to estimate the genetic parameters and breeding values. The results showed that the body weight and breast circumference traits (BW2, BW4, BW6, and BrC6) for the mixed sex KKU1 chickens were higher than for the KKU2 chickens (p < 0.05). For the growth performance traits, the KKU1 chickens had higher average daily gain and feed intake and a lower feed conversion ratio than the KKU2 chickens (p < 0.05). The survival rates were not different except at up to 6 weeks of age, when that of the KKU1 chickens was slightly lower. The specific combining ability, heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations, and estimated breeding values showed that the KKU1 chickens had better genetics than the KKU2 chickens. In conclusion, KKU1 chickens are suitable for development as crossbred Thai indigenous chickens for enhanced growth performance and for commercial use.

“…Moreover, Ningdu Sanhuang population detected polymorphisms associated of DRD2 gene with egg number at 300 days of age, chickens with TT genotype were higher egg number at 300 days compared to that of the CC and TC genotypes (Xu et al, 2011b). Tenzin et al (2020) found in Pradu Hangdam chickens that DRD2 was associated with egg weight at first egg, with TC and TT genotypes having higher breeding values than the CC genotype. Moreover, we found that VIP genotype associated with EN270, EN360 and EM.…”

“…Egg production has importance economic traits in poultry that are complex quantitative traits involving many genes and their interactions. Many researches focus on gene marker associated with egg production that can be used to improve egg production (Liu et al, 2019;Syed et al, 2019;Zhuang et al, 2019;Tenzin et al, 2020). From the research results, it was found that using molecular markers to selecting high egg production in chickens was success.…”

The objectives of the research were to determine the association of Dopamine Receptor D2 type (DRD2) and Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) on egg production in 281 high egg strain of Pradu Hangdum Chiangmai chickens (HPHC). PCR-RFLP protocols were used to identify polymorphisms of both genes. The frequencies of TT, TC and CC genotypes of DRD2 were 0.05, 0.40, and 0.55, respectively. The frequencies of T and C alleles of DRD2 were 0.25 and 0.75, respectively. Regarding VIP, the frequencies of II, ID and DD genotypes were 0.59, 0.28, and 0.13, respectively. The frequencies of I and D alleles of VIP were 0.73 and 0.27, respectively. The association of DRD2 polymorphism were detected on egg number at 360 days (EN360) and egg per month (EM) (P<0.05). The chickens carrying the CC genotype had higher EN360 and EM (189.82 eggs and 15.81 eggs) and the ones carrying the TC (180.98 eggs and 15.08 eggs) and the TT genotype (176.38 eggs and 14.69 eggs) was non-significant. The VIP polymorphism were associated on egg number at 270 days (EN270), EN360 and EM (P<0.01). The DD genotype had higher EN270, EN360 and EM when compared to the ID and II genotypes. The DRD2 and VIP genes were moderate polymorphism and their alleles could be the potential genetic markers for chickens' selection to improve egg number.
