What is It

Identify breed/strain as per PNS Organic Agriculture-Livestock and GAHP

Guidelines

There is no such thing as the best breed of fowl to raise. All of the good
breeds require some methods of care and management even if they serve the same
purpose. There are a number of factors that will help in choosing the breed to raise.

In selecting a breed, take into account your purpose as well as the local
conditions that may affect fowls and their production. Climatic conditions and the
method of management are the most important factors that affect production. The
availability of the breed in the locality is another factor that must also be
considered. The best breed is one which is available, cheap, and adapted to the
locality.

Among the Egg Breeds are: Babcock, Dekalb, H & N cross, Kimber, White
Leghorn, Micawa, Minorca, Starcross

Layers belonging to these foregoing breeds lays an average of 220-250 eggs a

year. They usually start laying at about five months of age, or even earlier.

White Leghorns

5
 These are persistent layers. They are small, stylish, active, alert, and
excellent layers of large white-shelled eggs, but the meat is considered inferior to
that of most breeds of chickens. Leghorns are good layers but non-sitters. The
Leghorn’s skin, back, and shanks are yellowish, and the earlobes are white or
creamy white. The most common strain is the single-comb Leghorn.

Minorca

The Minorca is one of the heaviest of the egg breeds. The bird has a full,
closely feathered body, and a large comb and wattle. It lays very big white-shelled
eggs. Its skin is white. The shank and toes of birds that belong to the black strain
are black, and those that belong to the white-buff strain are slate-white. Mikawa.
The Mikawa is a breed is developed in Japan. It has a fairly large body similar in
form to the Leghorn. Its color is buff, while the beak, skin, shanks, and toes are
yellow. The earlobes are white. The hen is a good layer of large pinkish –white-
shelled eggs, and its meat is excellent for the table. The bird matures fairly early
and the hens do not become broody.

Commercial Layer Breeds in the Philippines

6
Lohmann Chickens

Lohmann chickens have their origins in Germany and are some of the most
prolific layers in the Philippines.

Dekalb Chicken in the Philippines

Dekalb chickens in Philippines have various excellent characteristics such

as excellent livability, high number of eggs laid, good egg sizes as well as great egg
quality. They lay crisp white eggs which are quite popular with many Filipinos.
Average egg weight is 63.1g and they also have excellent feed conversion which
makes them a high performing and potentially profitable to raise for poultry egg
production in Philippines.
Babcock white layers

The babcock layers produce a large number of big-sized eggs. The Babcock
white layers perform well in all kinds of climates and are known for their calm
temperament.

7
 Commercial Broiler Breeds or Strains in the Philippines
In the Philippines, you can choose any of the following commercial broilers:
Among the Broiler Breeds/Strains that are available are: Anak, Pilch-de-kalb,
Lohman, Starbro, Arbor acre, Peterson, Cobb, Minerva , Magnolia, Swift
Arbor Acres Broilers

This is one of the most popular broiler breeds in the Philippines. Arbor Acres
have excellent growth rate, excellent livability, good feed conversion rates as well as
great breast meat yield.

Hubbard:

This is another popular broiler strain in the Philippines which is also

excellent for free range poultry meat production.
Ross

Ross is one of the most robust broilers and assures buyers of excellent
breast yield. These broilers generally assure farmers of excellent overall
performance.

8
Cobb

Cobb broilers are great all rounders and can be reared in various kinds of
environments including alternative poultry farming systems.
Poultry from these breeds and their strains are fast-growers and have tender
meat. They are also good egg producers, but should be raised to produce hatching
eggs only for the production of broiler chicks.

Native Chicken in the Philippines

The last category of chicken that you can farm in the Philippine are the
native breeds. They are specific to each region of the Philippines, and among others
include the following:

Banaba chickens from Batangas

Darag chickens from Panay Island

Parawakan chickens from Palawan

9
 Their advantages of farming native Philippine chickens include the fact that
they are quite hardy, have excellent survivability, and grow well in a wide variety of
conditions.

What’s More

Instruction: Classify the following categories of chicken found inside the box. Write
your appropriate answers on the table below using a short bondpaper.

What I Have Learned

In selecting a breed, take into account your purpose as well as availability,

quality of chicks, and the local conditions that may affect fowls and their
production. It is very important that the poultry raiser, and students of poultry
raising should know how to select chicks of good quality so that they may buy or
cull chicks intelligently.

10
 What I Can Do

breeds/strains of chicken that can be found in your backyard. Identify its breed
