Keeping in view the importance of
backyard poultry, an attempt has been
made to study the adaptability, viability and
productive performance of Vanaraja, an
improved colored bird under backyard
system of management.
laid in 40 weeks period were also recorded.
lncome from Vanaraja and Desi birds was
calculated based on the number of eggs
produced and live weight at 40 weeks Jg-e.
The egg quality traits tike sheil
thickness, egg weight, shape index, albumin
index, yolk index were estimated. Haugh
unit score, a measure of internal quality of
eggs was also computed. Economic
analysis of backyard poultry with Vanaraja
and Desi birds was calculated. The data was
analyzed as per the methods described by
Snedecor and Cochran (1 967).
Materials and Methods
Performance of Vanaraja chicks in
backyard was conducted in three districts
(Mahaboobnagar, Medak and Karimnagar)
of Andhra Pradesh. Two villages in each
district were selected as these villages are
having a good number of backyard poultry
with Desi birds. Four weeks old Vanaraja
chicks (n = 600), immuhized against
Marek's, Ranikhet, Gumboro and Fowl pox
diseases were distributed (10 chicks each)
to the women farmers and compared their
production potential with Desi chicks (n =
200). At backyard the birds were ailowed to
scavenge outside in the field from morning
to evening and housed in bamboo basketi
during night. Broken rice, ground maize,
kitchen waste etc., were offered during
morning and evening hours to the birds. The
weekly body weights, mortality pattern of
chicks were recorded. Relative growth rate
of chicks was assessed based on the
weekly body weights. The weight of pultet
when first egg taid, puilet egg weight and
egg weight at 40 weeks age was recorded.
