      abstract = {In order to formulate feasible conservation measures and  develop and utilize Muchuan black-bone chicken rationally,  two generations of Muchuan black-bone chicken were bred,  and their production performance and slaughter traits (at  the age of 300 d) were compared. The results showed that  the reproductive performance, slaughter performance and  body size of the Muchuan black-bone chicken of Generation 1  (G1) were all improved compared with those of the  Generation 0 (G0) (P<0.05). At the age of 300 d, the live  weight, carcass weight, and leg muscle weight of the G1  were significantly higher than those of the G0 (P<0.05);  and the chest width of the cocks of the G1 was  significantly higher than that of the G0 (P<0.05). It  suggests that after rigorous selection and utilization of  modern poultry breeding techniques, the reproductive  performance, slaughter performance and survival rate of  Muchuan black-bone chicken can be improved significantly. },
