چکیده مقاله:
This study was designed to identify and provide comparative information that exit between the two Nigerian ecotype chickens, namely: Fulani ecotype chickens and Yoruba ecotype chickens with particular reference to their weight and linear body measurements in Paiko, Niger State, Nigeria. A total of ۸۰ indigenous chickens (comprising ۴۰ Fulani ecotype chickens and ۴۰ Yoruba ecotype chickens) were used in the study. The experimental birds were raised for ۲۴ weeks under intensive management systems. Mean and standard error of means on body weight (BWT), body length (BL), beak length (BKL), body girth (BG), wing length (WL), shank length (SL) and thigh length (THL) were taken and subjected to Pearson correlation analysis to obtain the relationship between body weight and linear body measurements. The findings showed that males of the two breeds were significantly (P<۰.۰۵) heavier and had longer bodies, better body girth, beak length, shank length, and thigh length than the females. A comparison of the two breeds also revealed that Fulani ecotype chicken was significantly (P<۰.۰۵) better than the Yoruba ecotype chickens for the traits evaluated. Correlation on body weight and linear body measurements of the Fulani ecotype chickens and the Yoruba ecotype chickens were strong (P<۰.۰۱) and positively correlated except in shank length (P<۰.۰۵) in the Fulani ecotype chickens It is concluded that breed differences do exist between the two indigenous Nigerian chicken breeds studied and these difference are in favor of the males and the Fulani ecotype chickens.This study was designed to identify and provide comparative information that exit between the two Nigerian ecotype chickens, namely: Fulani ecotype chickens and Yoruba ecotype chickens with particular reference to their weight and linear body measurements in Paiko, Niger State, Nigeria.

Correlation on body weight and linear body measurements of the Fulani ecotype chickens and the Yoruba ecotype chickens were strong (P<۰.۰۱) and positively correlated except in shank length (P<۰.۰۵) in the Fulani ecotype chickens It is concluded that breed differences do exist between the two indigenous Nigerian chicken breeds studied and these difference are in favor of the males and the Fulani ecotype chickens.
