Comparative adaptive immune response in Indian and exotic breeds of domestic chicken
317 / 245
Keywords:
Chicken, Immune response, Kadaknath, Rhode Island Red, Uttara fowlAbstract
RIR is best among three breeds studied in terms of adaptive immune response and disease resistance closely followed by Kadaknath. Uttara fowl ranked third hence, its resistance can be increased by incorporating traits from RIR or Kadaknath by employing appropriate genetic techniques. A new breed so developed is expected to exhibit better immune response and adaptability to high altitudes.Downloads
