Beschreibung

The book discusses the morphology, adaptability of the local chickens; genetic principles behind these modifications, their effect on adaptation and performance. The book also discusses the major gene types in the Nigerian local chickens, their adaptation and comparative performance; the genetic resources, the existence of genetic differences within and between the populations and potential for improvement. It further discusses geographical classification of the local chicken as a bias estimate of genetic variability stressing that body dimensions and performance variation of local chicken populations have revealed the existence of genetic differences within and between ecological zones. The text discusses the current state of knowledge and challenges of the Nigerian local chickens. The book targets researchers in local chicken breeding and genetics, postgraduates of animal breeding, government policy makers for agricultural, rural development and extension services.
