Forord Denne oppgaven ble skrevet våren 2017 og er avsluttende arbeid på en 5-årig mastergrad i husdyrvitenskap ved institutt for husdyr- og akvakulturvitenskap ved Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige universitet. Det er en oppgave innen avl og genetikk, som er det fagområdet jeg har valgt å fordype meg i. Jeg har likt godt å fordype meg i én problemstilling og har lært mye det siste året, både faglig og teknisk. Jeg vil gjerne takke hovedveilederen min Theo Meuwissen for god veiledning og hjelp med koder og programvarer. Takk for lærerike diskusjoner om metoder og resultater. I tillegg vil jeg takke Peer Berg for god faglig veiledning og for at jeg fikk jobbe med ett av deres prosjekter ved NordGen. Takk for nyttige tilbakemeldinger på oppgaven. En stor takk går også til Linn Groeneveld som har sittet mange timer og hjulpet meg med datamaterialet og alltid vært tilgjengelig for spørsmål og veiledning av skrivearbeidet. Tusen takk!

  • Japanese Native Chickens ᑪ┙ᣣᦼ 2003/8/15 ਄ඦ 11:31 G:\Final Version\6 Chicken JP Edited(4).Doc
    Japanese Native Chickens ᑪ┙ᣣᦼ 2003/8/15 ਄ඦ 11:31 G:\Final_version\6_chicken_JP_edited(4).doc Japanese Native Chickens Masaoki TSUDZUKI Laboratory of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8528, Japan Introduction There are approximately 50 breeds of native chickens in Japan (Table 1). Japanese native chickens are classified into 2 groups. The first group is those for hobbyists. The second group is for egg and/or meat production. The former group will be called “Japanese fancy fowl” and the latter “Japanese utility fowl” in this article. Japanese fancy fowl are further classified into 2 subgroups. The first subgroup includes chickens introduced to Japan more than 2,000 years ago. The second subgroup includes chickens introduced to Japan later. The former is called “Jidori (Japanese Old Type)”. Among the latter, the Shoukoku (Japanese Elegancy) breed was introduced to Japan during the Heian Era (794 – 1192). The Oh-Shamo (Japanese Large Game), Chabo (Japanese Bantam), and Ukokkei (Japanese Silkie) breeds were introduced during the early Edo Era (1603 – 1867). Other Japanese fancy breeds were established by the end of the Edo Era via mating these foreign derived chickens with Jidori and followed by selective propagation. The Japanese Government has designated many Japanese fancy fowl as “Natural Monuments of Japan”. They are Jidori (Japanese Old Type), Shoukoku (Japanese Elegancy), Shamo (Japanese Game), Chabo (Japanese Bantam), Ukokkei (Japanese Silkie), Uzurao (Japanese Small Rumplessness), Tosa-Onagadori (Japanese Long Tail), Ohiki (Japanese Tail Dragger), Toutenkou (Japanese Red Crower), Koeyoshi (Japanese Good Crower), Toumaru (Japanese Black Crower), Kuro-Kashiwa (Japanese Black), Satsuma-Dori (Kagoshima Game), Hinai-Dori (Japanese Dainty), Minohiki (Japanese Saddle Hackle Dragger), Jitokko (Japanese Creeper), and Kawachi-Yakko (Japanese Brave).
