Abstract
SUMMARY The cock exchange program, under delineated geographical location, is one of the best strategies to introduce the desired genes into a local chicken gene pool. It also has success stories in performance improvement of the local chicken population under smallholder management conditions. A cock exchange program, to be effective, should be complemented with improved chicken management practices (Increased amounts of alternate feed, enhanced management, and disease control).
