Meat Productivity and Quality of Three Breed Crossbred Broilers (Mia - Ho - Luong phuong)

Abstract

A study was carried out to determine meat productivity and quality of three breed crossbred broilers as a result of crossing F1 crossbred (Ho x Luong Phuong) and Mia chicken. Results showed that the three breed crossbred broiler (Mia-Ho-Luong Phuong) mostly has a yellow coat for the hen
and dark brown coat for the cock; around two thirds had a single comb, the feet had yellow skin. The crossbred had a strong body. The rate of survival to 12 weeks of age reached 91.7%. At 12 weeks of age, the live weight was 1915.49 g. The FCR was 2.83; PN was 80.45, the percentage of the carcass
was 69.38%, with 22.16% thigh meat, 22.86% breast meat. Meat quality parameters such as pH value, processing loss, color, toughness were in good ranges and well suited to the tastes of local consumers.
