ABSTRACT
The indigenous chicken of Kashmir thrives at an altitude of 1500 to 2000 meters amsl. The
carcass characteristics of both sexes and egg quality were evaluated in the native chicken. Twenty
adult cock and hen were procured from different places of Kashmir known for indigenous chicken
rearing. Birds were slaughtered by halal method; scalding temperature of 62-630C did work
optimally for 1.5 minutes for cock and 55 seconds for hen. The average live weight was 1.72 ±
0.04 kg and 1.25 ± 0.02 kg for cock and hen respectively, which differed significantly (P< 0.01)
between the two sexes. Dressing percentage of 70.11 ± 0.66 for cock and 63.80 ± 1.59 for hen
were significantly different (P 0.01). There was no significat difference in blood and feather
percentage whereas the carcass yields did differ significantly (P
