Age, genotype and sex effects on growth performance of local chickens kept under improved management in Ghana.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Jan 2012

Osei-Amponsah Richard, Kayang Boniface B, Naazie Augustine

Abstract excerpt

Characterisation of animal genetic resources has been recognised globally as an important step towards their sustainable use. Body weight data of local chickens (213 forest and 160 savannah chickens) and 183 French free-ranging SASSO T44 chickens kept under improved management were collected from hatch to 40 weeks of age and analysed to determine the effects of age, genotype and sex on their growth performance....
