VALDES CORRALES, R.J.; PIMENTEL, O.; MARTINEZ, K.  y  FERRO, E.M.. Phenotypic characterization of creole poultry genetic basis from San Andrés, Pinar del Río, Cuba. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2010, vol.59, n.228, pp.597-600. ISSN 1885-4494.

The objective of this work was to estimate by observation methods, the appearance's frequency of some phenotypic features in Creole hen (Gallus gallus) in three regions of San Andrés, province of Pinar del Río, in order to contribute at phenotypic characterization of creole poultry's genetic basis. As a result were identified 28 characters contained in 8 phenotypic features (plumage's color, plumage's type, crest's type, paws's color, presence of feathery paws, skin's color, color of the pick and color of ears). The results of this work have guided the development of other investigations with the purpose of evaluating the adaptability and productivity of the poultry's genetic basis and their possible association with the phenotypic features founded.
