Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and carcass traits of 44 day-old chicks of Uttara fowl. The experiment was conducted by using the chicks obtained from single hatch. Biweekly body weight was recorded from hatch weight to 12 weeks of age. At the end of trial period, three birds was randomly selected and sacrificed to record the carcass traits. Uttara fowl under farm condition performed better in context of egg weight, hatch weight, biweekly body weight, dressing percentage and has genetic potential for improvement through intensive selection and breeding programme to develop birds with improved efficiency for sustainable use in poultry farming in harsh and cold climatic conditions of hilly region of Uttarakhand.
