Effect of Sustainable Chicken Waste Manure Fertilizer on the Growth of Vigna aconitifolia | Chapter 6 | Contemporary Research and Perspectives in Biological Science Vol. 6

Manure from chicken excrement seems to be a novel and workable method for decomposing trash, which lessens the burden on solid waste management. It appears that chicken manure is a cutting-edge, environment-friendly waste treatment technique that has enormous potential for the future of solid waste management. Due to the high levels of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium in chicken waste, its use as fertilizer has exceeded that of other waste products from animals, such as pig manure. For 90-100 days, the intestinal material from Gallus gallus domesticus which is degraded and turned into chicken waste manure/ fertilizer. The pH value observed in chicken waste manure is 7.3 respectively. Apart from being a major source of nutrients for crop growth, chicken manure also harbours a number of human diseases. The Vigna aconitifolia is consumed as food and fodder and is known for having a high protein content along with an excellent amino acid, mineral, and vitamin profile. The purpose of the study was to determine how chicken waste manure affected Vigna aconitifolia roots, nodes, leaves, plant height, pods, and seeds. The organic waste decomposer was obtained from the National Centre for Organic Farming in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, which is rich in macro- and micronutrients that can be used to benefit soil and plants. After 150 days of the study, it was shown that all treated groups that were exposed to a high dose of chicken waste manure showed a significant increase in the number of nodes, leaves, roots, shoot length, leaf length, number of pods, length of pod, and number of seeds. The study found a direct correlation between the growth rate of Vigna aconitifolia seeds and the varied concentrations of chicken waste manure given to the seeds. Chicken waste manure is treated biologically with the help of microbes to improve the micronutrients in the waste which can be used as chicken waste manure/ fertilizer for sustainable agricultural purposes.

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).

Studies on Sexual Dimorphism in a Cross River Ecotype Local Chicken – Rose Comb (Gallus gallus domesticus) | Chapter 4 | Recent Research Advances in Biology Vol. 12

 In Cross River, researchers looked into sexual dimorphism in the local chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)-Rose Comb. The influence of sex on body weight (BW), body length (BL), body girth (BG), thigh length (TL), shank length (SL), and keel length (KL) was measured fortnightly for twelve (12) weeks on sixty (60) male and female Gallus gallus domesticus chickens. To confirm the relative contribution of each characteristic to overall dimorphism, the Sexual Size Dimorphism Index (SSDI) and Sexual Dimorphism Index (SDI) were used. BW had SSDI and SDI values of 1.61 and 61 percent, TL had 1.26 and 26.52 percent, SL had 1.23 and 23.81 percent, BL had 1.22 and 21.50 percent, BG had 1.18 and 18.20 percent, and KL had 1.17 and 17.94 percent. Stepwise discriminate analysis was used to find the best feature for predicting sex, yielding Wilk's Lamda values of BW(0.471); TL(0.452); SL(0.401); BL(0.283); BG(0.272); and KL(0.471) (0.271). At week 6, all measured parameters exhibited significant (p0.05) differences, with mean BW, BL, BG, SL, KL, and TL of 300.01 and 253.24; 22 and 18.62; 5.20 and 3.98; 4.60 and 3.50; 5.50 and 3.90; 13.10 and 11.20 for both male and female birds, respectively. These findings show that sexual dimorphism exists in all morphometric traits in favour of the male, with BW being the most dimorphic. The research will also aid in the selection of Gallus gallus domesticus for improved meat production and will address the issue of sex discrimination during mating selection before sexual maturity.
