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.
