Abstract

A comparative study of growth (Body weight and linear body measurements; Neck length, Body length, Thigh length, Shank length and Breast width) and seasonal influence on some reproductive hormones

(luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone (P₄) and estradiol (E2) and egg production in two strains of guinea fowl (Belgie and Pearl) was conducted at the Poultry Unit,

Teaching and Research Farm of the Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State. Body weight and linear body measurements were taken biweekly from 16 weeks to 28 weeks of age.

Introduction

Malnutrition has been a persistent problem in Africa especially Nigeria. The most important area of deficiency is in the intake of animal proteins. Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) meat and egg contribute immensely to the alleviation of this animal protein deficiency with demand being higher than supply and can be a tool for poverty reduction (Koney, 2004).

Attractive plumage and value as a table bird with game-type flavor and higher meat to bone ratio of guinea fowl has led to its worldwide acceptance (Embury, 2001).

They are widely consumed by a large number of Nigerians because of the meat and egg which possess distinct flavor and taste (Ayeni and Ayanda; 1982).

Guinea fowl production is associated with small holder farmers in Africa and is described as ”poor man‟s pheasant” (Smith, 2000).
