Abstract

RIR is best among three breeds studied in terms of adaptive immune response and disease resistance closely followed by Kadaknath. Uttara fowl ranked third hence, its resistance can be increased by incorporating traits from RIR or Kadaknath by employing appropriate genetic techniques. A new breed so developed is expected to exhibit better immune response and adaptability to high altitudes.
