Combining Abilities for Carcass Yield Performance in Diallel Crosses of Five Indigenous Chicken Strains under an Improved Production System in Zambia

2026-04-30

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Indigenous chickens contribute to income generation, nutrition, and food security in rural poultry production in Zambia. Local environmental conditions suit these chickens well; they demonstrate disease resistance, and they require minimal management. However, their growth performance and carcass yield are inferior to those of commercial breeds. This study evaluated the genetic potentia...
