Abstract

Backcross is a cross between an offspring and its parents, or an individual that is genetically similar to its parents, to minimize the genetic variation of the resulting offspring. A female Pelung cross with a male F₃ Golden Kamper is a type of backcross. Golden Kamper chicken is a breed of chicken from a selective cross between Pelung and Layer. This study aimed to determine the quantitative phenotypic characteristics of hybrid chickens from a cross between a female Pelung and male F₃ Golden Kamper, and to determine the weight growth of hybrid chickens from a cross between a female Pelung and a male F₃ Golden Kamper. The method started from crossing a Pelung female with an F₃ Golden Kamper male to produce fertile eggs. The eggs were incubated for 21 days in the incubator. After that, Day Old Chicken (DOC) was weighed from the day of hatching. DOC weights were weighed for 49 days. After that, morphometric measurements were carried out on DOC at 49 days old. Result observed was weight growth data and the results of morphometric measurements of DOC from a cross between a female Pelung and a male F₃ Golden Kamper. The other outcome obtained was the growth of DOC weight from hatching to 49 days experienced significant growth. The weight growth of DOC chickens from crosses between Pelung females and F₃ Golden Kamper males reached an average of 410.7 g in the seventh week. This weight is smaller than Pelung, which can reach an average of 472.6 g and F₂ Golden Kamper which reaches an average of 435.7 grams at the same age. The results of the average quantitative characteristics of the morphometry carried out including, chicken height 25.52 cm, body height18.39 cm, beak width 0.85 cm, beak length 2.48 cm, head width 1.58 cm, head length 4.96 cm, comb length 1.97 cm, comb height 0.38 cm, neck length 7.40 cm, back length 12.52 cm, body length 12.35 cm, body width 4.98 cm, chest circumference 21.04 cm, wing length 8.50 cm, upper thigh length 6.20 cm, lower thigh length 8.28 cm, and shank 5.54 cm. Based on the research conducted, it is known that the average weight of DOC from crossing female Pelung with male F₃ Golden Kamper at 49 days of age is 410.7 g. There are 17 phenotypic quantitative characteristics that we found in DOC from crossing female Pelung with male F₃ Golden Kamper at the age of 49 days.
