The Kadaknath is important native chicken breed of Madhya Pradesh. The
meat from this breed has a geographical indication (GI Tag) tag that was
approved by the Indian government on 30 July 2018. Although the meat of
this breed has an unattractive appearance, it has a delicious flavor (Panda
and Mahapatra, 1989). The meat and eggs are considered rich sources of
protein and iron. Meat of the Kadaknath breed contains a high percentage of
protein and is believed to have aphrodisiac properties (Mohan et al., 2008).
Although the Kadaknath breed has many unique characteristics, it has been
neglected because of its poor production potential. Of late, there is renewed
interest among consumers and farmers in native germplasm because of the
unique hardiness of the breeds, their ability to thrive under adverse climatic
conditions and the desirable taste and flavor of eggs as well as meat. Hence, a
significant demand exists for the Kadaknath native chicken
