Frequencies of Feet Feathering and Comb Type Genes in the Nigerian Local Chicken

摘要: Incidence of feet feathering condition, different comb types and the relative frequencies genes affecting these conditions were studied in 2030 local chickens. 14.78% chicken surveyed had feathered feet, while 85.22% non feet. The single type was commonest observed chickens surveyed. 94.73% comb, 3.20% 2.07% rose pea combs respectively. estimated gene frequency for fish allele breed 0.08, its recessive allele, fih an O. 92.
