Summary

This video demonstrates the process of measuring various body dimensions of local chicken breeds, focusing on both qualitative and quantitative measurements. Tools such as a tape measure and caliper are used to measure body parts like the shank, thigh, breast, wings, neck, beak, and comb. The video provides detailed instructions on how to perform each measurement, from the shank length to the comb height, with a focus on accuracy and the proper use of tools. The chickens featured are of a local breed with white feathers and a single comb type.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video demonstrates how to measure the body dimensions of poultry, specifically local chickens with white feathers.
• 😀 Tools used for measurement include a measuring tape and calipers.
• 😀 Key body dimensions measured using the tape measure include shank length, thigh length, chest length, chest circumference, and more.
• 😀 Measurements with calipers include the length of the third toe, spur, beak, comb height, and pubic bone distance.
• 😀 The shank length is measured from the base of the metatarsus bone to the joint just before the chicken's foot pad.
• 😀 Shank circumference is measured with the tape measure around the lower part of the right shank, just before the spur protrusion.
• 😀 The third toe length is measured from the longest toe to the tip of the claw.
• 😀 The thigh length (Tibia) is measured from the shank to the knee joint (patella).
• 😀 The chest circumference is measured around the widest part of the chest, just below the wings, while taking care not to hurt the chicken.
• 😀 The length of the wing is measured at four points using a string and tape measure, including humerus, radius-ulna, metacarpus, and wingtip.

Q & A

What tools are used for body measurement in the video?

The tools used for body measurement in the video are a measuring tape for qualitative measurements and calipers for more precise measurements.

What type of chicken is being measured in the video?

The chicken being measured in the video is a local breed with white feathers and a pea comb type.

How is shank length measured?

Shank length is measured using a measuring tape from the base of the shank bone to the joint before the foot pad.

What is the method used to measure the chest circumference of the chicken?

The chest circumference is measured using a measuring tape, going around the chest just below the wings.

Which tool is used to measure the length of the third toe?

The length of the third toe is measured using calipers, from the base of the shank to the tip of the toe.

How is the back length of the chicken measured?

The back length is measured using a measuring tape, from the neck to the tail.

What is the procedure for measuring the wing length?

The wing length is measured using a measuring tape and string, starting from the shoulder to the wing tip, including the bones of the humerus and radius/ulna.

What is the significance of measuring the comb height?

Measuring the comb height helps to assess the size of the comb, which is an important characteristic in certain poultry breeds.

What is the procedure for measuring the length of the beak?

The beak length is measured using calipers, from the base to the tip of the beak.

How is the number of comb points counted?

The number of comb points is counted on chickens with a single comb type, by counting the serrations or points on the comb.
