Abstract :
[en] Indigenous chicken breeds adapt well to the local conditions and provide the
genetic diversity required to improve the development of poultry breeds. Nowadays, the intensive
systems of chicken production use only hybrid lines with high genetic potential. These lines are a
serious threat to the conservation of indigenous chicken breeds in the world. Therefore, research on
indigenous chicken breeds are necessary in elucidating conservation and sustainable development
strategies with respect to these chicken breeds. This work evaluates the production and laying
performances, and the meat and egg quality of two breeds of Vietnamese broiler chickens, Ho and
Dong Tao. Our work shows that the production performances of the two breeds are low compared
to commercial lines. Improving the production and reproduction performances of these animals is
necessary in contributing to the program of conservation and sustainable exploitation of these two
emblematic breeds.

The indigenous chicken breeds adapt well to the local conditions and provide the genetic diversity required to improve the development of poultry breeds. Nowadays, the intensive systems of chicken production use only hybrid lines with high genetic potential. These lines are a serious threat to the conservation of indigenous chicken breeds in the world. Therefore, research on indigenous chicken breeds is necessary to supply more information for creating conservation and sustainable development strategies for these chicken breeds. This work evaluates the production and laying performances, and the meat and egg quality of two breeds of Vietnamese broiler chickens, Ho and Dong Tao. Our work shows that the production performances of the two breeds are low compared to commercial lines. Improving the production and reproduction performances of these animals is necessary to contribute to the program of conservation and sustainable exploitation of these two emblematic breeds.
