Determination of Morphometric and Bioacoustic Analysis of the Ornamental Gaga’s Chicken (Ayam Ketawa) | Chapter 4 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol. 7

 Gallus gallus domesticus, often known as "Ayam Ketawa" (Gaga's chicken), is a decorative chicken with commercial significance. The goal of this study was to use morphometric and bioacoustic analysis to determine the ornamental Gaga's chicken. The morphometrics and bioacoustics features of Gaga's chicken from five subdistics in Pinrang (South Sulawesi) and Kebayoran Lama, Jakarta, were explained in this research. According to bioacoustics investigation (crowing sound), there were two sorts of Gaga's chicken: "dangdut" type and "slow type," respectively. Twenty samples were taken in Pinrang, South Sulawesi, while the remaining seven were taken in Kebayoran Lama, Southern Jakarta, respectively. In either "slow type" or "dangdut type," the Gaga's chicken body weight was not significantly different from Pinrang and Kebayoran Lama. Gaga's chicken in the "dangdut type" from Pinrang, on the other hand, had a greater neck bone length (P0.05) than Kebayoran Lama. The trachea muscle of the dangdut type was longer than the slow type (0.010), according to the vocal cord morphometric. Furthermore, the right or left trachea muscle of the dangdut type was longer (0.010) than the right or left trachea muscle of the slow type. The "dangdut type" has more beats (4-7 times) than the "slow type" according to bioacoustic study (3-5 times).
