| dc.description.abstract | Genetic improvement of indigenous chickens (IC) is hindered by limited knowledge on the various chicken Ecotypes. This study characterized and assessed the genetic diversity of nine (9) IC Ecotypes based on phenotypic quantitative traits. A total of 576 IC (288 cocks and 288 hens) were sampled from 288 households across the 9 agro-ecological zones of Uganda. Data on linear body measurements and live-body weight of IC were collected using a field guide developed by African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources. | en_US |
