AICRP on Poultry Breeding is one of the successful projects being operated at twelve centres viz. KVASU, Mannuthy; AAU, Anand; KVAFSU, Bengaluru; GADVASU, Ludhiana; OUAT, Bhubaneswar; ICARCARI, Izatnagar; ICAR-RC for NEH Region, Agartala; NDVSU, Jabalpur; AAU, Guwahati; BAU, Ranchi; MPUAT, Udaipur and CSKHPKVV, Palampur. The main objectives of the project are development of location specific chicken varieties, conservation, improvement, characterization and application of local native chickens, development of package of practices for village poultry and entrepreneurships in rural, tribal and backyard areas in addition, KVASU, Mannuthy, and AAU, Anand centres to maintain two elite layer germplasm (IWN and IWP). KVAFSU, Bengaluru, and GADVASU, Ludhiana, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, ICAR-CARI, Izatnagar to maintain a total of four (two by each centre) elite broiler germplasm (PB-1, PB-2, CSML and CSFL). Pedigreed random bred control populations (one for layer and the other for broiler) were maintained at ICARDirectorate on Poultry Research, Hyderabad. Samples of hatching eggs from these populations are being sent to different centres of AICRP on Poultry Breeding to measure the genetic progress. As per the decision taken by the Council, the strains maintained at different AICRP centres and ICAR-DPR were duplicated at various AICRP centres to be utilized in case of exigencies and as a resource population by the centre for production of three and four way crosses. The strains being duplicated at different AICRP centres are IWD and IWK at Anand and M-1 and M-2 at Jabalpur. During the year a total of 6,54,618 chicken germplasm was distributed to the farmers from different centres. An amount of Rs. 207.16 lakhs revenue was generated through distribution and propagation of the improved chicken germplasm. In the year 2021-22, AICRP on Poultry Breeding, Mannuthy centre, KVASU evaluated the S-6 generation of native chicken germplasm up to 40 weeks of age. The egg production up to 40 weeks of age was 75.75 eggs with an average egg weight of 43.95g at 40 weeks of age. The egg production decreased by 3.2 eggs, whereas 28- and 40-weeks’ egg weight increased by 1.39 and 0.91g, respectively compared to the previous generation. The fertility (89.33%) and hatchability on TES and FES (82.80 and 92.75 %) was good. The centre has also evaluated S-32 generation of IWN and IWP strains of White Leghorn up to 72 weeks of age. The hen day egg production up to 72 weeks of age was 292.94 in IWN and 278.89 in IWP strain. The centre has generated a revenue of Rs.15.52 lakhs and has supplied a total of 30,238 number of germplasms during the year. The number of farmers benefitted through the germplasm supply from the centre during the current year was 305. Not Available |
