Breeds Of Poultry

1. Breeds had become grouped according to area of origin – American, Asiatic, British, French, Italian – and they were divided into varieties characterized by a particular colour or colour pattern or comb type. The interest in poultry was almost exclusively in achieving perfection of show specimens. Little attention was paid to productivity in eggs or meat.

2. The breeds, which currently dominate world production of eggs and meat, were developed during this period. Leghorns arrived in the United States between 1828 and 1831 and many importation followed. They were imported to England at a later date but had become popular by 1876. They represented the indigenous stock of Tuscany and took their name from the port city of Leghorn (Livorno). Colouring was not uniform at first, but fanciers soon had isolated a large number of varieties. Only the Single Comb White Leghorn remains in commercial use as the exclusive layer of white-shelled eggs. Brown-shelled eggs currently are derived from crosses involving several minor breeds, all of which were developed after 1850 as a dual-purpose (eggs and meat) stock. Barred Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire were all developed in the United States.

4. Egg production of wild species is variable. Under research-farm conditions, red junglefowl produced 62.5 eggs in a year compared with 181 eggs from White Leghorns. Wild birds probably do not begin reproducing until they are 1 year of age; under controlled environment, industrial chickens begin laying by 5 months of age. A reasonable expectation from industrial egg-production chickens is 250 eggs in a year with an average weight of 62 g per egg. Reproductive performance of industrial meat chickens is not as good. Breeder flocks of these specialized lines are expected to produce about 150 eggs per female in a breeding season of 10 months; hatchability of eggs is about 85 per cent. The incubation period for both wild and domestic fowl is 21 days. All countries of the world have chickens in large numbers. They are on of the least expensive and most efficient sources of animal protein in the care of mankind. Probably no other domesticated animal species has much universal importance as a food source.
