Background and Objective: The genetic variation and the hybrid vigor can be exploited in animals by crossing of the different important characteristics of each breed and producing superior crosses for better animal performance. Therefore, the study aimed to contribute to the improvement productivity of Nigerian indigenous chickens through crossbreeding strategy in enhancing the growth characteristics between Nigerian indigenous and Rhode Island Red chickens. Materials and Methods: The growth performance characteristics were measured for chickens’ progenies produced from pure and crossbred of Nigerian indigenous chickens and Rhode Island Red birds and data obtained were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance and means separation with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Results: The growth performance characteristics were significantly (p<0.05) varied among the genetic components progenies produced and crossbred progenies of naked neck had the heavier body weight, body length, chest girth, keel length, shank length, thigh length, wing length coupled with lower feed intakes, higher weight gain and better FCR. Sex wisely, males of all the genetic components produced were better in terms of growth performance traits. Conclusion: The study concluded that NIC could be used appropriately as sires and exotic chickens as dams best suited for improving the local stocks for growth performance characteristics in the derived savanna environment of Nigeria.
背景和目的：通过杂交每个品种的不同重要特征，可以利用动物的遗传变异和杂交活力，培育出优良的杂交品种，从而提高动物的性能。因此，本研究旨在通过杂交策略提高尼日利亚土鸡和罗德岛红鸡的生长特性，从而提高尼日利亚土鸡的生产力。材料和方法：对尼日利亚土鸡和罗德岛红鸡的纯种和杂交后代的生长性能特征进行了测量，并通过方差分析和邓肯多重范围检验对所得数据进行了统计分析。结果裸颈杂交后代的体重、体长、胸围、龙骨长、胫长、大腿长、翅长均较重，采食量较低，增重较高，FCR 较好。从性别上看，所有基因组中的雄性在生长性能性状方面都更好。结论该研究得出结论，在尼日利亚的热带稀树草原环境中，可以适当使用 NIC 作为父本，外来鸡作为母本，以改善当地种群的生长性能特征。
