Morphobiometrical diversity of the indigenous chicken’s population in the Sudano - sahelian zone of Cameroon
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Animal Science - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Studies were undertaken at rural, peri-urban and urban areas of the Sudano-sahelian agro-ecological zone of Cameroon to describe the variations in physical characters and some important feather and skin mutations observed in different populations of native chickens of the sudano-sahelian zone of Cameroon. According to accessibility, availability of chickens and willingness of farmers to give informations , thirteen villages were investigated from January to September 2010 in the Far-north and North regions using a structured questionnaire. 558 chickens were randomly selected and each of them was completely described by direct observation, weighing and body measurements according to FAO (1981) recommendations.
