This work was done in the parishes of Alóag, Aloasí, Uyumbicho, Tambillo, El Chaupi and the cantonal head of Machachi. The care, conservation and improvement of backyard hens have been areas of little or no interest in research. For this reason, the hens tenure system (Gallus gallus domesticus) backyard was characterized, a survey was applied to owners of each parish, evaluating aspects such as: Data of the owner, Management of the hens, Installations, Reproduction, Feeding, Health and Veterinary Care. For the characterization of the genotype, the variables were considered: presence of plumage in neck and legs, age of the animal and weight of the animal, and the phenotype that was related to the color of the egg and weight of the egg. The resulting data were statistically analyzed using Infostat. As a result, it is observed that there are insufficient controls of nutritional management of the bird population by producers. Veterinary care is poor, as is reproductive control, people in charge of backyard bird care are made up of owners, 92.5% are women and only the remaining 7.5% are men, traditional food is a grazing base, corn, accompanied by insects and other small animals accessible on site, in addition to cooking waste. Hens predominate with 95% total plumage in the neck and 99.3% bare legs, characteristics that match the phenotype of a Creole bird. With respect to the predominant plumage colors it was obtained that they were: brown, yellow and black with 29%, 25% and 24% respectively. The beige eggs were the highest incidence with 62.5% and large with 49.5%. The red hens had a higher egg weight: 62.69 g (P <0.0001), as a consequence of which these animals have a hybridization between Creole hens and laying hens, an effect that is also reflected in the hens of varied colors that They had a larger egg size: 5.58 cm (P <0.005). |
