Phenotype Characters and Inbreeding Coefficient in F5 Golden Kamper Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)

Abstract

Golden Kamper Chicken is a chicken from crossing between pelung and layer chickens that have good meat and egg productivity. Currently, Golden Kamper has reached its fifth generation (F₅ Golden Kamper). Phenotype characters of F₅ Golden Kamper should be studied to know the character inheritance from the parental, F₄ Golden Kamper. This research aims to study the phenotype character of F₅ Golden Kamper chickens and to determine the inbreeding coefficient value of F₅ Golden Kamper. The research has been done by hybridising F₄ Golden Kamper hens and roosters, raising DOC, egg collection, phenotypic data collection, and calculating the inbreeding coefficient value of F₅ Golden Kamper chicken. The results showed that F₅ Golden Kamper have white and yellow shank, golden-brown and black-brown feather, and single comb. The inbreeding coefficient value obtained is 0,375, shows that individual F₅ Golden Kamper chickens have low genetic uniformity in a population.
