Characterization of a Chicken x Peahen Intergeneric Hybrid Produced under Natural Mating

Yaklaşık 30 tavus kuşu (Pavo cristatus) ve bir Beyaz Legorn horozu (Gallus gallus domesticus), pet hayvanı olarak birkaç yıl aynı kafeste yetiştirilmiştir. Bu kafesten toplanıp kuluçkaya konan yumurtalardan elde edilen bir civciv fenotipik olarak diğerlerinden farklı bulunmuş ve bunun bir tavus kuşu ve beyaz Legorn melezi olduğu kabul edilmiştir. Doğal çiftleşme koşullar altında bir tavuk x tavus kuşu melezi üretimi alışılmadık bir durum olduğundan, bu çalışma ile elde edilen civcivin fenotipik, kan proteinleri analizi, enzim polimorfizmleri ve PCR-RFLP yoluyla, tavuk ve tavus kuşunun bir inter-generik melezi (F1) olduğu teyit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Sonuçta söz konusu civcivin gerçekten, bir tavus kuşu ile Beyaz Legorn horozu arasında bir intergenerik melezi (F1) olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Doğal Çiftleştirme Koşullarında Üretilen Tavuk x Tavus Kuşu Melezinin Karekterizasyonu

About 30 peafowls (Pavo cristatus) and one White Leghorn cock (Gallus gallus domesticus) were reared in the same cage for several years as pets. Out of the hatched eggs collected from the cage, one chick was phenotypically different and was presumed to be a hybrid between a peahen and the White Leghorn cock. The production of a chicken x peafowl hybrid under natural mating conditions is an unusual occurrence. This study therefore sought to confirm that the chick was indeed an inter-generic hybrid (F1) of the chicken and peafowl through phenotypic examination, analysis of blood protein, enzyme polymorphisms, and PCR-RFLP. It was concluded that this chick was, indeed, an intergeneric hybrid (F1) between the peahen and the White Leghorn cock.
