Summary: | Chicks production in Indonesia is dominated by broiler. However Indonesia has many kind of local chicks, and one of them is pelung’s. Low local chicks productivity make local chicks meat supply is lower than broiler in Indonesia chicks market. One way to increase local chicks productivity is to crossbreeding between pelung’s and broiler. Previous breeding produce DOC that has increased weigth but has fenotipe like broiler. Hence backcross breeding was needed to obtain a chicks generation that has uniform fenotipe and good growth performance. The method was to backcrossed between BC (fimale), brownish x F (male), red anf BC (fimale), old brown x F (male), red. DOC that produce from this breeding was maintainced for 7 weeks. The result of DOC average weigth from BC (fimale), brownish x F (male), red is 1129,6 gram and DOC average weigth from BC (fimale), old brown x F (male) is 901,3 gram. Entirely from BC (fimale), brownish x F (male), red birth chicks has 100% brown fathers with various colour like blackish brown, old brown and brownish black, while BC (fimale), old brown x F (male), red birth chicks has 50% brown and 50% black with various colour is 60% white and 40% yellow. While BX (fimale), old brown x F (male), red DOC has various feet colour is 40% white, 40% grey and 20% yellow. It could be revealed that the breeding result increased a DOC weigth with fenotipe like local chicks.
