Shannan Prefecture of Tibet is the central producing region of Tibetan chicken, and Tibetan chicken feeding has become one of the characteristic industries of animal husbandry in local agricultural and pastoral area, and it is an important source of food and income for the locals. However, because of extensive feed- ing managemem, low level of intensification, blind hybrid of exotic varieties and despising selective breeding, the number of pedigree Tibetan chickens have reduced year by year and the performance of Tibetan chicken herd varied greatly, premium specificity could not be effectively utihzed. By investigating the present situation of Tibetan chicken feeding, analyzing the specificity of Tibetan chicken germplasm resources, the scientific conservation breeding was started to make full use of the advantage of keeping Tibetan chickens on the plateau.
