Chicks (n = 106) were collected from 39 frmers in 19 villges nd individully rised in cges from n verge ge of 9 weeks to 0 weeks. Onfrm mde growers msh (17% CP) ws fed nd irds were treted ginst common diseses nd prsites. Htch mtes (n = 141) of cge-rised chicks remined on frmer household flocks nd were rised y their dm hens under scvenging conditions. These irds were rised in two tches etween Octoer nd Decemer 00, nd etween Jnury nd Mrch 003, which were corresponding with hot-dry nd wrm-wet sesons, respectively. Sex of chickens, villge, mngement nd mngement x tch interction significntly (p<0.05) influenced growth trits. The vlues for irds under cge-mnged conditions were significntly (p<0.05) 7, 39, 4, 5 nd 41% higher thn for irds under scvenging conditions, for weight t 0 weeks, overll dily weight gins, specific growth rte nd growth efficiency, respectively. Phenotypic vrince for dily weight gins nd specific growth rtes were 17 nd 1%, respectively lower for cge-fed thn for free rnge irds. Correltion coefficients of growth trits mesured etween cge-fed nd scvenging conditions were low (r = , p<0.05), indicting possile genotype y environment interction. Gross mrgin over feed costs ws MK6.00 per ird (SD, MK7.00). This ws 35% rte of return on feed costs (SD = 38%) or 4% rte of return on initil ird vlue plus feed cost (SD = 6). It is concluded tht growth potentil of locl chickens is only prtilly exploited under scvenging conditions primrily due to feed constrints. Key words: Growth potentil, cge fed, scvenging, locl chickens Introduction The recognized importnce of locl chickens in providing met, csh income, socio-culturl vlues to rurl people nd their efficient scvenging system hs led to incresed reserch on the species during the pst 10 yers. However, most of these studies hve een seline surveys nd interviews (Pedersen, 00). These studies hve generted informtion on locl chicken production, their functions to rurl households nd demonstrted tht the system is complex with mny constrints such s low productivity of met nd eggs, nd high mortlity (Guèye, 1998). Becuse of little or no investment into the system, production of locl chickens is low cost, mkes use of y-product resources nd is thus efficient (Aini, 1990). Growth is compound trit influenced y genetic nd mngement, especilly nutrition nd helth. The villge scvenging condition is vrile, without stndrd husndry system (Kitlyi, 1998). Performnce of locl chickens is thus lso vrile under trditionl production system. While it is importnt to know how determine production potentil, especilly when compred to the scvenging villge conditions. The ojectives of this study were to determine growth potentil of locl chickens under cge-mnged system; nd to compre their growth with locl chickens under free-rnging system in the villges. The hypothesis to e tested ws tht the villge free-rnging system limit expression of growth potentil of locl chickens. Mterils nd Methods Experimentl site: This study ws conducted t Bund College of Agriculture (BCA) locted 30 km west of Lilongwe. Fifty (50) metolic cges of 34 x 33 x 33 cm size were constructed loclly from welding wire nd plced inside uilding, which hd open sides covered with wire mesh for ventiltion. Ech cge ws fitted with wter nd feed troughs loclly mde from urnt cly nd curved on top to minimize feed spillge. The tril on scvenging conditions ws conducted in the surrounding villges on households of frmers who prticipted in the villge poultry project. These villges chickens perform under scvenging conditions, surround BCA, nd re locted within the coordintes o o knowledge of their production potentil is lso essentil S, E nd ltitude is pproximtely 100 m (Pedersen, 00).

2 Gondwe nd Wollny: Growth potentil of locl chickens These were on free-rnge (scvenging) with their dm- hens. Their growth ws monitored during the sme period s their contemporry counterprts in cges. Weighing of ll irds ws on the sme dy on weekly intervls. Mngement followed wht frmers prcticed including the prticiptory communl Newcstle disese vccintion. Sttisticl Office, 003). Two sesons re distinct; wet wrm seson (Novemer to April) nd dry seson (My to Octoer). Most of the smllholder frmers elong to the Chew trie nd prctice susistence griculture in crop-livestock integrted system. Aout 8% of these frmers own locl chickens using free-rnge, scvenging low input-low output production system (Gondwe nd Wollny, 00). Different phenotypes nd different ge-groups scvenge together. Frmers errticlly provide supplement feed to their chickens, minly using mize rn (10.4% CP). Through community prticiption, frmers were vccinting their chickens ginst Newcstle disese (NCD) using L sot live vccine (1000 doses cloned, Lohmnn Animl Helth GmH) t three monthly intervls, etween My nd Decemer. Frmers shred the cost of the vccine. Experimentl chickens in cges: Fifty growing chicks collected from frmers in the study re were individully llocted into the cges t rndom. From ech frmer, up to three chicks from the sme hen were rndomly chosen. The htch dtes of these chicks nd their mother hens were recorded. Chicks were of n verge ge of eight (8.5) weeks when introduced to cges. Chicks were tgged, sexed nd phenotypiclly chrcterized. Initil weight ws tken for ech ird. In totl, 39 frmers from 19 villges in the study re contriuted to the study. The periods for the pre-tril nd tches 1 nd were, respectively, August - Septemer 00; Octoer - Decemer 00; Jnury - Mrch 003. Ech tch covered on verge 1 weeks. Feeding in cges: During the study period, chicks were offered on-frm formulted growers msh (Tle 1). Growers msh ws chosen since it is fed to commercil lyer chicks during growing phse. Feed nd wter were offered d li in the cges. Helth mngement of chicks in cges: Birds in cges were treted ginst helminths (Piperzine from CAPS, Zimwe), coccidiosis (Amprolium from Netherlnds) nd other prophylxis (Triple Sulf from Antec Helth cre Afric Ltd, South Afric). Those tht hd externl prsites were dusted nd smered with tick greeze (Cooper Ltd, Zimwe). Other tretments were dministered upon noticing prolem on individul irds. Helth ws monitored on dily sis. Tretment ws, however, dministered to ll irds to prevent possile infection to other irds. If irds died during the study, it ws rrnged to return to frmers replcement ird of similr ge tken from the College stock. Experimentl chickens under free-rnge: The clutch mtes of chicks (offspring from sme htch) rought to cges remined t the frmers home in the villges. Dt collected: Birds were in the cges until they reched 0 weeks of ge. Altogether there were three tches of chicks introduced in the cges. However, the first tch ws on pre-tril sis nd ws not e included in the nlysis. With two tches, 100 chicks were oserved. Of these, 70% were femle nd 30% 1 mles. Distriution in terms of colour were 4.76% Chiphuluts, 0.95% Kwngi, 1.38% Mwng, 6.67% Ykud, 15.4% Yofir nd 0.00% Yoyer. On weekly sis, live weights of chicks were tken using digitl scle (Ohus CS5000, Ohus Corp, Pine Brook, NJ, USA; mximum of 5 kg, grduted to g). Dt on free-rnge irds (n = 147) were comined with dt from cge irds nd sujected to similr clcultions descried for cge-mnged chickens pertining to growth trits. Altogether, there were 47 irds included, 40% in cges nd 60% under villge mngement. Femle irds constituted 71%. Distriution y tch is shown in Tle. Dt clcultion nd nlyses: Growth performnce ws determined using live weights nd growth rte prmeters weight gins, specific growth rtes nd growth efficiency.

However, there is need to check if locl chickens express some genotype y environment (G x E) interction, if the results determined under improved feeding could e pplicle to locl free-rnging environment. In genetic nlysis, genetic correltions etween 0.9 nd 1.0 suggest tht two trits re the sme (Kerr et l., 001). Lower correltion coefficients imply smll covrince etween the two oservtions. This indictes presence of stronger interction (Lin nd Togshi, 00). The dm-hen effect nd rnking ws expected to e similr in the two mngement systems nd hence show high correltion coefficients. The results otined showed correltion coefficients rnging from Common covrince in these correltions ws due to genetic nd mternl effects. The low correltion coefficients show possiility of individul G x E interction eing expressed in growth trits for locl chickens. This mens locl chickens re sensitive to environmentl chnges. Use of prmeters determined under improved feeding in this cse is only to show potentil performnce of locl chickens under freernging environment (Prdo - Gonzlez et l., 003). Economic evlution of feeding locl chickens: Gross mrgins nd rtes of returns on feed costs were positive. The oserved rtes of return re possile contriution of high costs of feed nd poor feed conversion efficiency of these locl chickens. This return declined when initil vlue of irds ws included. When ll costs, such s lour involved with intensifiction nd tretment re tken into considertion, it would not e economiclly justifile to improve feeding of locl chickens, s oserved y Demeke (003). Pedersen (00) found negtive gross mrgins of US$8 for intensively mnged locl chickens from dy old in Zimwe. Locl chickens re pproprite for the low input scvenging system. Lwesy et l. (004) reported positive response of supplementing locl chickens loclly formulted rtion on erly chick growth rte nd return to ly of hens. However, the rtion ws not economiclly vile. This poses chllenge to utilize the dvntges of the low-input system while t the sme time ttempt to chieve their genetic potentil. On ssumption tht the low-input system will previl in rurl communities nd tht currently there is no suitle reed to sustitute locl chickens, investigtions into optiml feeding strtegies rnging from supplement feeding to whole feeding re encourged within the frmework of the frming system. Conclusion: The growth potentil of locl chickens is not fully exploited under free-rnge (scvenging) conditions due to indequte feeds. Feeding mngement contriutes to out 30% of their growth potentil. Growth of locl chickens cn e enhnced through improved mngement under free-rnging conditions. The option of improved feeding of locl chickens under confined conditions is, however, economiclly not ttrctive enough to wrrnt frmers dopting it.
