Abstract:Wuhua three-yellow chicken is a famous indigenous chicken breed in Guangdong province. To provide reference data for Wuhua three-yellow chicken conservation and selective breeding, 60 Wuhua three-yellow chickens were feed in a male and female-mixed style. The body weight, body measurement and slaughter performance of the chickens were investigated. The result showed that three-yellow chicken was growing slowly, the average body weight of the 210 day-old chicken was 1 022.5 g, the body slanting length and shank length were long and the chest depth was deep. The dressing percentage of cockerel chicken and female chicken were 88.7% and 92.63% respectively, the eviscerated percentage were 63.14% and 60.93% respectively, the leg muscle rate were 23.67% and 19.61% respectively, and the abdominal fat rate were 0.58% and 0.63% respectively. Statistical tests performed on slaughter performance indicated that between cockerel chicken and female chicken, the difference of dressing percentage was statistically significant (P<0.01), body weight, semi-eviscerated percentage, eviscerated percentage and leg muscle rate were also statistically significant (P<0.05), but no difference existed (P>0.05) in other characters.
