    (Chattogram Veterinary & Animal Sciences University, Khulshi,Chattogram, 2018-09) Asmany, Kazi
    The present study was conducted to characterize one important native chicken breed from India and compare its growth, egg production and welfare traits ( specially meat quality & consumer health) with present commercial broiler in Narsingdi poultry hub; Bangladesh. There is a tremendous development in poultry industry in last few decades; but little attention has been paid for indigenous chicken, due to its poor producing ability. Now-a-days health conscious consumer give emphasis in backyard poultry rather than commercial poultry. But backyard poultry is rare and expensive ; also contain high level of fat(less than commercial layer) and low protein .In this case, Kadakhnath chicken may be the substitute of backyard poultry which is low in fat( 0.7%-1.5%) , rich in protein (25.6%) & can be rare commercially with minimum cost & high profit. This breed is highly resistant to disease and highly adaptable in the environment of our country. For experiment two farm of Shibpur, Narsingdi poultry hub started commercial farming and they are succeed in their vision.
