Abstract excerpt

A study was conducted to characterize four autochthonous chicken ecotypes of Ethiopia using selected phenotypic traits. Data were collected from a total of 191 chickens, including reproductive traits such as age at first egg, first egg weight, egg number at 250 days, egg weight at 250 days, hatchability and fertility. Morphometric measurements were recorded at 24 weeks of age from 40 cocks and 151 hens, including...
