Signature of Indian native chicken breeds: a perspective

This study proposes a computer vision and machine learning (ML)-based approach to classify gender and breed in native chicken production industries with minimal human intervention. The supervised ML and feature extraction algorithms are utilized to classify eleven Indian chicken breeds, with 17,600 training samples and 4,400 testing samples (80:20 ratio). The gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) algorithm is applied for feature extraction, and the principle component analysis (PCA) algorithm is used for feature selection. Among the tested 27 classifiers, the FG-SVM, F-KNN, and W-KNN classifiers obtain more than 90% accuracy, with individual accuracies of 90.1%, 99.1%, and 99.1%. The BT classifier performs well in gender and breed classification work, achieving accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F-scores of 99.3%, 90.2%, 99.4%, and 99.5%, respectively, and a mean absolute error of 0.7.

“…Landless and individuals with tiny plots of land rely on raising livestock, especially chickens, to make a living. The Indian National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources characterised and registered 19 chicken breeds in India (Kanakachari et al 2022), and numerous nondescript desi chicken breeds have been reported by many authors (Mohapatra and Panda 1981;Aini 1990;Fumihito et al 1994; Iqbal and Pampori 2008;Fadhil et al 2016). Owing to their compatibility with regional taste preferences and cooking methods, native or indigenous chicken breeds are highly desired.…”

Indigenous and native chickens play a pivotal role in rural economies, providing both a source of supplementary income and a means of nutritional security through egg and meat production. Native chicken farming practices often involve backyard and free-range systems with minimal input. India is one of the world's top producers of poultry, with a total chicken population of 851.8 million in 2019 and 37.2% representing native or indigenous breeds. Traditionally, backyards were used to raise native chickens, but semi-intensive and intensive farms have gained popularity in recent years because of the increasing demand for native chicken meat and related price increases. Government-backed projects in India also support raising native chickens to empower women and other marginalised communities. In this context, a structured online survey was conducted from April to May 2023 to study consumer preferences for native chicken meat in India and its impact on the sustainability of developing intensive production systems. The survey collected responses from 503 individuals who had confirmed their consumption of chicken meat. A two-part model, incorporating a logit regression for binary preference and an ordinary least square (log-normal OLS) regression for quantity purchased, was used to analyse the data. In addition, a factor analysis was conducted to identify the key components that shaped consumer attitudes, yielding nine unique rotated components. Gender, age, income, education, marital status, cohabitation, household size, presence of senior citizens or children within households, and consumption frequency were found to have significantly influenced consumer preferences for native chicken meat. Factors such as psychological well-being, affordability, knowledge, nutrition, food quality, fitness, purity (natural), and sustainability consistently exerted a negative influence on both the preference and quantity of native chicken meat purchased. Despite a significant preference for local chicken owing to its perceived sustainability, concerns regarding sustainability arose from pricing and accessibility for specific quantities. Addressing pricing inequalities and increasing availability in the required quantity are essential for improving sustainability in semi-intensive and intensive native chicken production. The key to maintaining the long-term sustainability of native chicken farming is to match consumer demands with ethically and environmentally responsible production methods.

“…The poultry sector in developing countries is largely based on traditional production or free-range (extensive) systems that are characterized by low input and more limited production outputs (Manyelo et al, 2020). In these poultry production systems, native or local poultry breeds are mainly used, and they play a substantial role for the rural poor and marginalized section of the people with respect to their subsidiary income and food security, since they provide them with meat and egg for consumption and sale (Padhi, 2016;Pius et al, 2021;Kanakachari et al, 2022). These poultry genotypes (e.g., Aseel, Fulani, Busra, Deshi, Naked neck, Nicobari, frizzle, Punjab Brown, Thai native, Tepi, Hilly, Matrouh, Mandarah, and Fayoumi) are well known for their desirable biological characteristics, such as good adaptability, thermotolerance, and resistance to diseases (Padhi, 2016;Mengesha et al, 2022).…”

Abstract. The aim of the study was to compare carcass composition and physicochemical and sensory attributes of breast and leg meat from native Mexican guajolote (Meleagris g. gallopavo) as influenced by sex. For this, slaughter weight and carcass characteristics of male (n=8) and female (n=8) guajolotes raised traditionally under extensive systems with similar housing and feeding conditions were recorded. Also, physical characteristics, proximate composition, the fatty acid profile, and sensory attributes were determined in breast and leg meat using standard procedures. The results showed that males had higher (P<0.001) slaughter weight, hot and cold carcass weights, and dressing percentage, as well as carcass part weights, while females had higher (P<0.001) abdominal fat weights than males. The lightness (L*), yellowness (b*), and drip loss values of breast meat, as well as redness (a*) and water-holding capacity values of leg meat, were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by sex. Male breast meat had higher (P<0.05) moisture content, crude protein, erucic acid (C22:1n9), ∑ MUFAs (total monounsaturated fatty acids), ∑ UFAs (unsaturated fatty acids), ∑ DFAs (desirable fatty acids), ∑ UFA / ∑ SFA (total saturated fatty acid) ratio, ∑ PUFA (total polyunsaturated fatty acid) / ∑ SFA ratio, and chewiness scores than females. Likewise, leg meat from males showed higher (P<0.05) ash content, myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1n9c), palmitoleic acid (C16:1n7), ∑ SFAs, ∑ OFAs (odd fatty acids), thrombogenic index, and atherogenic index, whereas females had high fat content. In conclusion, it would be suggested that, from a nutritional point of view, the meat from male guajolotes was preferable to the meat from females.
