Abstract
This research study determined phenotypic characteristics and morphology to characterize indigenous Khiew-Palee Chicken in Uttaradit Province. The sample included 55 chickens randomly selected from farms in the province. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze and present data. The results showed that dominant phenotypic characteristics were hin comb and red earlobe. The Khiew-Palee Chicken was characterized by its blackish green color, which was clearly visible around the eyes, beak, neck plumage, back plumage, wing plumage, wing, long curve tail and back tail respectively. The morphological comparison results showed that all characteristics (weight, body height, body length, body width, wing length, upper shank length, lower shank length and foot length) of the two age groups (4-9 months and over 9 months) were statistically significant difference between sexes (p<0.001). It was found that males were on average larger than females in all morphological characteristics. The study findings can serve as the breed characterizations of indigenous Khiew-Palee Chickens in Uttaradit Province, and as the selection criteria for chickens with desired qualities according to the Standard of Perfection, which can be used for local economy and breed conservation purposes.
