Detail description
Local chicken breeds are not only part of our farming heritage. They can also help farmers prepare for hotter, drier or more variable conditions. In this study, researchers compared the DNA of 25 local chicken breeds from six countries - Egypt, France, Iceland, Ivory Coast, Norway, Russia - with the climate conditions. The aim was to see whether some breeds carry useful genetic traits linked to adaptation to temperature, rainfall and altitude.
