    Phenotypic Characterization Report

    This document discusses phenotypic characterization studies which involve collecting large volumes of data on production and adaptation traits from farm animals in their normal production environments. This reflects true performance levels and allows estimation of means, variations, and environmental influences. On-farm evaluation can involve repeated visits or comprehensive monitoring over multiple production cycles. The data collection and evaluation of performance are essential for animal breeding programs. Students should be trained in data collection instruments and processes through both lessons and practical exercises to understand phenotypic characterization for future animal breeding research.

    PHENOTYPIC CHARACTERIZATION

    Introduction

    Phenotypic characterization studies often involve the collection of large volume of data.
    On farm performance evaluation of production and adaptation traits in animal’s normal
    production environment reflects the true levels of performance in the base population. In such
    studies, representative sample flocks or herds are selected for continuous monitoring of these
    traits over a period long enough to allow estimation of the mean and dispersion of performance
    levels, as well as documentation of attributes of the production environment that influence
    animal performance. Depending on the source availability and the level of detail needed to
    meet the objectives of the study , on –farm evaluation can be organized either as a set of
    repeated visits to sample livestock holdings, or as a comprehensive monitoring process
    involving repeated measurements of performance in the target animal populations over a
    defined period of time, usually covering a few full production cycles. Both approaches have the
    objective in generating performance data on the priority production and adaptation traits.

    In animal breeding the data collection and evaluation of performance are essential. On
    farm performance studies can designed to estimate genetic parameters as part of genetic
    improvement programs in Camarines Native Chicken Nucleus Farm.

    Students in animal breeding should therefore trained on the process of collection for
    future studies in animal breeding research. They must be trained in the used of the whole set
    of data collection instruments. Training should include both formal lessons and practical
    exercises. It should promote common understanding of the data collection process, reporting
    relationships, and how queries that emerge during data collection should be handled.

    This exercise have the following objectives:

    Generally, to be able to conduct-farm data collection and analysis for animal breeding
    researches and specifically:

    1. to conduct phenotypic characterization


    2. to differentiate the analysis to be done on the quantitative and qualitative
    characteristics, and
    3. To evaluate nucleus farm production performance or data collected.
