The status of indigenous chicken genetic resources: Analysis of chicken breeds and impact of poultry diseases

2023-11-14

Abstract excerpt

Indigenous chickens ( Gallus domesticus ) (IC) are an essential component of agriculture among 80% of small-scale farmers (SSF) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and are essential for rural livelihoods.
