Won by Germplasm
The Directorate coordinates and monitors the network project of All India Coordinated Project on Poultry Breeding, being implemented in a total of 10 centres located in different Agricultural/Veterinary Universities and ICAR institutes. The primary objective of the project is to develop high yielding stocks of broilers and layers for commercial farming and thereby make the country self-reliant. Besides, another component of rural poultry was added and being implemented at Agartala and Jabalpur.
AICRP on Poultry for Egg
Objectives
- To evolve high yielding strains/strain crosses with average performance of 305 eggs with more than 54 g of egg weight at 40 wks of age and less than 1% layer house mortality per month.
- To estimate genetic gains from selection in the principal and correlated traits.
- To compare the different breeding methods for improving the principal performance traits.
Network Centers
- Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University, Hyderabad
- Kerala Agricultural University, Mannuthy
- Anand Agricultural University, Anand
- Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar
AICRP on Poultry for Meat
Objectives
- To evolve a commercial broiler with at least 1700g body weight at 6 wks of age, with feed efficiency of less than 2.00 and mortality less than 5 per cent up to 5 wks of age.
- To estimate genetic gains from selection in the principal and correlated traits.
- To compare different breeding methods for improving the principal performance trait and reduction in size of broiler dam line through introduction of dwarf gene.
Network Centers
- Karnakata Veterinary, Animal and Fishery Sciences University, Bangalore
- Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneshwar
- Guru Angad Dev University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Ludhiana
- Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar
AICRP on Rural Poultry
Objectives
- To test various stocks developed for rural poultry production at both on farm as well as at farmers door for suitability of different germplasm developed for rural poultry production for backward and tribal areas.
- To record various growth and production traits, phenotypic appearance, adaptability behaviour, scavenging feed base, housing and earning data etc. both at on farm as well as at farmers’ door.
- To develop newer varieties of chicken for rural/tribal poultry farming
Network Centers
- ICAR Research Complex for NE region, Agartala
- Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Viswa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur
