INTRODUCTION
In Indonesia, 28 local chicken breeds had identified and
documented. Each breed has a morphological identifier and
different potentials (Ulfah et al. 2016). Among Indonesian
chicken breeds, four breeds have the ability in producing a
distinctive crowing sound so-called a singer chicken.
Singer chicken can produce a melodious sound, as well as
rhythm but varying in character (Ulfah et al. 2017). These
four breeds categorized as singer chicken were Kokok
balenggek chicken from West Sumatra, Bekisar chicken
from East Java, Gaga chicken from southern Sulawesi, and
Pelung chicken from Cianjur District, West Java Province
(Daryono et al. 2020). Three of them (Gaga, Kokok
balenggek, Pelung, respectively) have been patented as
genetic treasurer of Indonesia in 2011 by Indonesian
Ministry of Agriculture. In this research, the authors
attempt to describe these four chicken breeds.
In this research, the authors deeply concentrate on
Pelung chicken. At glance, Pelung chicken has a large
body compared with the other local Indonesian chickens.
Adult females have an average weight of 4,500 gr while the
male has 5.400 gr (Asmara1 et al. 2020; Asmara2 et al.
2020). The other local chicken breed weight was just
approximately 1,500 to 1,800 gr for adult males and 1,000
to1,400 gr for females. However, for Pelung chicken
enthusiasts, Pelung chicken usually maintained if it has a
good voice or has potential for competition, while Pelung
chicken with regular voice is usually sold to a market or
used as a source of food. Pelung chicken mating usually
well documented so the pedigree was clear. Chicken with
the same predecessor grouped as the same clan (trah)
which determines the chicken price. For example, trah
Lembayung and trah Gerandong which had approximately
eight times winning records were expensive than the
others. Closely related mating makes the inbreeding
coefficient arguably high.
Pelung has a distinctive crowing voice (called: melung)
with a characteristic sound that long, undulating, loud and
rhythmic. For beginner readers, the sound of Pelung
chicken crowing was like common chicken but much
longer with a prolonged end. Pelung chicken singing
competition often held by several agencies. One of them by
the district government held regularly to preserve the
existence of Pelung chicken. The winner of each chicken
show was determined by a group of judges which consisted
of three to four persons with one leader. Subjectivity might
occur during the examination. On this occasion, the authors
were compiling the chicken voice recordings from different
champions to make a standardization.
Vocalization was important character for identification
which had been studied in Toad (Wang et al. 2019) and
Liocichla (Kong et al. 2020). This research aimed to study
the bioacoustics character and study the inbreeding
coefficient of Pelung chicken.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study was done in 2018 in Cianjur, West Java,
Indonesia as the central development of Pelung chicken. 77
male Pelung chicken were used in this research.
Bioacoustics analysis
Pelung chicken crowing sound data retrieval by purpose
ve sampling method using a voice recorder, by using a set
of digital voice recording (SONY ICD-UX533F). The
crowing of each chicken was done by 1 to 5 repetitions
(minimum) or to obtain an optimal sound. Form these
repetitions, the crowing voice used in this research was
based on the opinions of the expert. The crowing voice
used in this research was the best that can be produced by
the sample. The distance of recording approximately 500
cm from the object. Recorded sound stored in the ".wav"
form, then analyzed with Adobe Audition CS5.5 and
PRAAT 5.3.66 software. The parameters used in this study
are presented in Table 1. Voice was transformed into a
waveform and spectrogram to show the voice pattern. The
waveform can be a representation of the voice graph.
Formant is a spectrum of peak waves to another peak wave.
To at least three formants (F1, F2, F3) (Jenny 2013).
Statistical analysis was done by the T-independent test and
ANOVA.
Champion sound analysis
In this research, the authors attempt to analyze the
champion sound characters. Pelung chicken divided into
two bioacoustics analyses, chicken with winning record
were grouped as champion while others grouped as non-
champion.
Inbreeding coefficient analysis
Pedigree construction was done by interview at least
two reliable breeders. inbreeding coefficient calculated
using the standard formula (Frankham et al. 2002).
Where; F was the Inbreeding Coefficient (IC) and n was
the number of lines of mating.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Chicken crowing bioacoustics
Indonesia has three natural chicken breeds (Kokok
balenggek, Gaga, Pelung, respectively) and one hybrid
chicken breed (Bekisar) which especially breed to sing
(Rusfidra and Arlina 2014). In this research, we managed
to describe them. The different chicken breeds might
produce various sound characters in each part. Dwarf
chicken (Ayam Kate) and Crested chicken Ayam Mahkota)
have the same crowing voice parts compared to Pelung
chicken but different in duration (Figure 1).
Pelung chicken crowing duration reached 8.435 ± 1.647
seconds while Crested and Dwarf chicken only 1.975 ±
0.2252 seconds and 1.772 ± 0.2698 seconds. Pelung
chicken crowing duration more than four times longer than
a dwarf and a crested chicken.

DARYONO et al. Crowing sound and inbreeding coefficient analysis of pelung chicken
2453
Crowing sound consists of 1.104 ± 0.210 seconds first
syllable, 5.532 ± 1.274 seconds second syllable, and 1.858
± 0.969 third syllable. The first syllable (first wave) is the
sound that started the sequence of crow. The first element
consists of one element and first syllable which joined in
the beginning of crowing sound. Between element and
syllable separated with silent interval. At the beginning of
Pelung chicken crow, the element is a short wave bite that
has a length of 0.1973 ± 0.059 sec. Element and early
sound syllables separated by a pause of about 0.1213 ±
0.038 seconds.
Based on the analysis, the first syllable has an F0
(fundamental frequency) around 243.875 ± 64.260 Hz, the
minimum F0 188.43 ± 66.119 Hz, and a maximum F0
295.37 ± 81.972 Hz. The crowing style followed a pattern
similar to syllable earlier, namely forming sound "ku - ku"
and then followed down the volume rises with the style
called initial syllable. First syllable length 0.7924 ± 0.20
seconds. The length of the initial syllable around 1.1128 ±
0.218 seconds.
In terms of amplitude, significant difference was
noticed among the syllables. The average of energy
produced by Pelung chicken is 83.237 ± 1.780 dB. Pelung
chicken will emit a loud sound at the beginning syllable
that the syllable "ku" (element component). The results
showed that ku voice has 84.849 ± 1.758 dB amplitude
then decreases to 83.648 ± 1.061 dB when reaching the
initial syllable early after the silent syllable. When it
reaches the middle syllable, amplitude decreased again to
83.174 ± 0.754 dB. However, the decrease was
significantly different at P>0.01. off all observed Pelung
crowing, the Standard deviation (SD) of the amplitude of
the middle voice has the lowest value compared to other
voice parts, this means that the sound is constant in this
section. The second syllable was the beautiful part of the
Pelung crowing.
In the end, syllable decreased to 81 279 ± 1,152 dB.
Sound energy at the end tends to have higher than syllable
beginning and middle, but not higher when compared with
the element at the first syllable. The Standard deviation
value demonstrated a high-end control syllable was very
different in individuals.
The bioacoustics of the Pelung champion
To analyze the champion characters, the authors
investigate the crowing sound structure of 1st winner
(champion) from several chicken shows. The limitation of
this study was high variability of crowing sound (Figure 2).
In different city, most of the chicken show contestant and
champion was different. The subjectivity of judgment
might occur. Five components were used to select a
champion consisted of first syllable, second syllable, third
syllable, rhythm, and harmony.
Based on voice visualization, each champion produces
a similar crowing pattern. The first syllable must be slow
rhythmic and clearly heard. Ku-ku and followed by
ellu” sound must be harmonic. The second syllable must
be slow, ke-ke…ellu.. then form an increasing sound
(bitu gantung) along with “ell” sound. the L sound at bitu
should be clearly heard at elllLLLUuuu”. Decrease F0 but
increase the amplitude. However, the type of bitu will be
described in another paper (Daryono et al. 2020). Based on
our analysis, the crowing duration does not determine the
quality of crowing. Crowing duration of champion and
non-champion were not statically different.
The comparison of crowing energy between champion
(having win record) to non-champion attempts to analyze
the sound hardness (Figure 3). In terms of sound energy, in
this occasion, the authors use kekelur typed crowing for
example as champion and kukulir typed crowing for
example as non-champion. Kululir was a very ordinary
Pelung crowing type, and always not selected to follow a
chicken show.
The champion (kekelur) produced lower sound energy
than the common Pelung chicken (kukulir) at the first
syllable’s element. Then sound energy was noticed decreased
at second syllable in both groups, this downstream was
significant at the champion but not at common Pelung. At
the third syllable, the champion produces lower sound
energy than the common Pelung. At the third syllable, the
ability to control the sound energy to produce long and
decreasing crowing was the champion criteria.
Fundamental frequency (F0) and formant are important
factors in bioacoustics (Figure 4). The result of the
calculation cannot be used before transformed into In or
log10 function (Flynn and Foulkes 2011). Based on our
analysis, the fundamental frequency was not different
between champion and non-champion (p > 0.01). Whereas
among champions in Semarang chicken show, the
fundamental frequency was not uniform.

Based on our visualization, F0 were highly
polymorphic. F0 cannot used as a bioacoustics marker.
Contrary, the value of Formant 2 (F2), F2-F1, F3, F5 were
statistically different at P<0.05 while pitch (F0), F1, F3-F2,
F4 + F2, and F4 at P<0.01. F1, F2, F3, F4, total formant
and F4+F1 at vowel “i” and “u” used in this research to
estimate the difference between champion crowing and
usual crowing voice. The F1 and F2 of kukulir and
kekelur were different positions in the sound sequence
(Figure 5).

The inbreeding coefficient of champion Pelung chicken
Based on our calculation, the Inbreeding Coefficient
(IC) reached 0.53 at one champion named Khayangan.
However, Khayangan brothers were not exhibited excellent
crowing sound. Although high IC value was bad, but no
physical deterioration was commonly noticed. For
example, there was no statistical difference between
champion and non-champion body weight. When the
authors attempt to outbreed Pelung to broiler into the first
Backcrossed (BC1) population, all siblings were non-
singer. Chicken enthusiasts remember the pedigree of
Pelung chicken. In the beginning, champion Pelung
chicken named Rengket was descendent of Si Kaget which
also had first place record. Rengket mating to female which
had bloodline was produced champion chicken named
Lembayung. Lembayung was the predecessor of many
champions including Khayangan (Figure 6).
Lembayung mating to female named Rengge which not
had bloodline was produced champion chicken named
Lodaya. Kencana and Kemuning, Lodaya’s offspring also
had champion record. Having big name, Lembayung
descendent was mated to other bloodlines, i.e. Grandong,
Simega and Sidolar (pers. comm. Agus Abdurrahman).
Sibling mating was regularly practiced until produce
Khayangan. From many Khayangan offspring, only
Samhiyang (not showed in Figure 6.) had champion
criteria. Samhiyang in the learning phase (juvenile age)
ever participating in chicken contest and even selected to
the grand final.
Discussions
Chicken crowing bioacoustics
Indonesia has three natural chicken breeds (Kokok
balenggek, Gaga, Pelung, respectively) and one hybrid
chicken breed (Bekisar) which especially breed to sing
(Rusfidra and Arlina 2014). In this research, we managed
to describe them.
Figure 6. The detailed Pelung chicken pedigree shows individual
Pelung names and mating scheme
Bekisar chicken was famous in Madura Island and the
eastern part of Java Island. This hybrid chicken originated
from the mating of the female domestic chicken (Gallus
gallus domesticus) which mostly black-feathered kampung
chicken breed with male green junglefowl (Gallus varius)
(Ulfah et al. 2017). Bekicem (Bekisar cemani) was all
black-colored Bekisar produced by crossing female cemani
chicken breeds (fibromelanosis phenotype) with male green
junglefowl. Although had low fertility, crossing male
Bekisar to female domestic chicken able to produce the
first Backcrossed line (BC1) called Bekikuk. This male BC1
chicken has a similar appearance and crowing sound to
male Bekisar.
Kokok balenggek chicken breed was originated from the
Western part of Sumatra Island. Among singer-typed
chicken in Indonesia, this chicken has the highest number
of syllables which reached 24. Typical of this breed has a
5.07 syllable each crowing. Crowing consisted of front
sound, middle sound, and end sound. The uniqueness of
these breeds laid on their end voice. Kokok balenggek
chicken crowing sound has a frequency of around 8.08
times/10 minutes. The crowing duration approximately
2.03 to 4.43 seconds.
The last list of the crowing typed chicken breed, Gaga
chicken, is crowing type chicken that originated from the
south part of Sulawesi Island (Zulistiana and Abinawantoa
2018). Gaga chicken has a crowing voice reminiscent of
human laughing voice so often called as laughing chicken
(Ayam Ketawa) (Abinawanto and Effendi 2017) Gaga
chicken crowing voice consisted of three main parts, front
voice with high intonation, middle voice laughing like a
human, and sort end voice. The ending voice is the
uniqueness and determines the quality and price of Gaga
chicken (Bugiwati and Ashari 2013). Crowing duration
around 3.68 ± 1.08 seconds.
Gaga chicken can be divided into two types based on
the crowing rhythm and the amount of syllables (Effendi
and Abinawanto 2016, Abinawanto and Effendi 2018).
First, dangdut (fast rhythm typed) and common (slow
rhythm typed). Based on the amount of syllables, dangdut
can be divided again into two types, long dangdut, and
short dangdut. Long dangdut type crowing duration reaches
30.8 seconds whereas short dangdut only 4.2 seconds while
the common (slow type) around 7 seconds. The syllable
recorded from long dangdut was 143 while short dangdut
was only 21, whereas the common-typed gaga chicken was
only 8. Most various parts of Kokok balenggek, Gaga, and
Pelung chicken crowing voice occurred in the middle
voice.
Pelung chicken was originated from Cianjur, West Java
province (Asmara et al. 2020). The different chicken breeds
might produce various sound characters in each part. Dwarf
chicken (Ayam Kate) and Crested chicken (Ayam Mahkota)
have the same crowing voice parts compared to Pelung
chicken but different in duration (Figure 1).
The bioacoustics of the Pelung champion
Based on voice visualization, each champion produces
a similar crowing pattern. Crowing duration of champion
and non-champion were not statically different. The

comparison of crowing energy between champion (having
win record) to non-champion attempts to analyze the sound
hardness (Figure 3). the ability to control the sound energy
to produce long and decreasing crowing was the champion
criteria.
Fundamental frequency (F0) and formant are important
factors in bioacoustics (Figure 4). The result of the
calculation cannot be used before transformed into In or
log10 function (Flynn and Foulkes 2011). Based on our
analysis, the fundamental frequency was not different
between champion and non-champion (p > 0.01). Whereas
among champions in Semarang chicken show, the
fundamental frequency was not uniform.
The inbreeding coefficient of champion Pelung chicken
The folklore about Pelung chicken origin believed by
people, today Pelung chicken breed was derived from a
single male ancestor. The story said that the very first
Pelung chicken breed was male chick hatched from
common local chicken (Ayam Kampung). This chick had
bigger body appearance and late covered by feathers which
when adult produces distinctive crowing sounds. In 1850s,
Pelung chicken breed begins famous.
This study shows the breeding scheme of the making of
satisfying Pelung chicken. As described earlier, clan (trah)
and pedigree was determining the Pelung chicken price.
Believed by breeder, a clan with winning record prominent
for Pelung chicken breeding. Contrary, Kokok balenggek
breeder not precisely made pedigree for the breeding
scheme. Usually, breeder keeps their chicken free-range.
That made the inbreeding coefficient remain low. (Rusfidra
et al. 2014, Rusfidra et al. 2015).
Based on our calculation, the Inbreeding Coefficient
(IC) reached 0.88 at one champion named Khayangan.
However, Khayangan brothers were not exhibited excellent
crowing sound. Although high IC value was bad, but no
physical deterioration was commonly noticed. For
example, there was no statistical difference between
champion and non-champion body weight. Many Pelung
chicken breeders use non-commercial produced feed which
mainly comprised of paddy bran to minimize the
detrimental effect of feed additives. This decision has
consisted of other reports that evaluated the impact of
chicken commercial feed on animal and human health
(Ahmad et al. 2020).
Winning a chicken show would raise his price as well
as his progeny. Champion male mating with a female (had
closest as possible bloodline with the champion male) to
producing chicken for highly competing in the chicken
show. Chick was intensively reared for participating in
chicken show.
When the authors attempt to outbreed Pelung to broiler
into the first Backcrossed (BC1) population, all siblings
were non-singer (Utama et al. 2018). The results indicate
the recessive autosomal as the inheritance mode of long-
crowing sound traits. However, this theory was not linier to
other singer chicken breeds. Gaga and Kokok balenggek
chicken crowing ability were believed to be acquired by
learning (genetics imprinting) (Bugiwati and Asyari 2013;
Rusfidra 2007).
Each section of Pelung crowing has specific
bioacoustics characters and vary among champions and
non-champions. The inbreeding coefficient reached 0.88 in
several Pelung champions. Bioacoustics software was
applicable to assist the chicken show. Amplitude was
different among Pelung chicken. Supported by outbreeding
data, the authors propose multiple gene works responsible
for Pelung crowing trait.
Inbreeding Coefficient (IC) and bioacoustics do not
have direct correlation. However, Inbreeding mating in
Pelung farm was carried out and maintained through
generation to accumulate and preserve the ample genes
responsible for crowing. This led to higher IC at Pelung
champion clan which also increase the possibility to had
deleterious traits.

... Currently, the color of Bekisar has been very diverse after many breeders bred male junglefowl with various female local chickens of various colors, such as Cemani [67]. For instance, a Bekicem is produced by crossing a female Cemani chicken (fibromelanosis phenotype) with a male green junglefowl, resulting in allblack-colored chickens [77]. Another variant of Bekisar is the Bekikuk, which is a result of crossing male Bekisar with female domestic chicken. ...
... This variant is categorized as a light Bekisar [21]. A Bekikuk has a similar appearance and crowing sound to Bekisar [77]. ...
... "Melung" also refers to the characteristic of Pelung crowing, which is long, undulant, loud, and rhythmic. At first glance, Pelung crows like other local chickens but the roosters have longer crowing with a prolonged end [77,96]. The crowing of Pelung is divided into three syllables which consist of initial, mid, and end sounds. ...

All birds produce vocalizations as a form of tcommunication with other individuals. Different from songbirds, crowing is a singing vocalization produced by chickens that cannot be learned through imitation. Some genes are assumed to be responsible for this activity. The long-crowing chickens have a melodious and long sound, so they are categorized as singing chickens. They are part of the biodiversity in Indonesia, which has high economic and socio-cultural value. Reviews about long-crowing chickens, especially in Indonesia, are still very rare. This article aims to identify the uniqueness and the existence of long-crowing chickens, together with the conservation efforts needed to manage them. Information was collected from journal articles and other relevant documents. There are four local chickens in Indonesia classified as long-crowing chickens. They are developed in different areas of the community with different socio-cultural characteristics. The fundamental differences among the breeds that can be quantified are in crowing duration and the number of syllables. The government has acknowledged that long-crowing chickens are important genetic resources; however, the association and individual keepers or enthusiasts are vital actors in conservation efforts. The information about long-crowing chickens in Indonesia is incomplete. The research activities that need to be conducted include exploring the population number and distribution, as well as documentation of the local knowledge of chicken breeders and enthusiasts.
... The scientific literature on this species has also never been written for publication, so this study has excellent novelty potential for research. [17] conducted research on bioacoustics analysis that correlated the morphometric analysis of local chickens on singer chickens, which included laughing chickens of dangdut and slow types, balenggek kokok chickens, pelung chickens, and bekisar chickens [15], [16], [18]- [21]. Similar to this, Zulistiana and Abinawanto [20] conducted a morphometric study that was connected with bioacoustics analysis to conduct diversity studies on laughing chickens. ...
... According to Arlina et al. [18], sound production in chickens is caused by sexual dimorphism in the brain area. Control of singing in crowing is influenced by testosterone levels in the body [21]. Abinawanto et al. [15] also stated that the transmitted crow structure is influenced by steroid hormones, especially testosterone and estradiol. ...
... This specificity is then used to conduct a kinship analysis. Research on the use of this bioacoustics technique has been widely carried out by some previous studies [5]- [11], [20], [21] and has been applied in biological research on species diversity [26]. Therefore, this research will be very useful in conducting studies on indigenous local chicken species whose existence information needs to be known so that they can be appointed as one of the genetic resources which are one element of the biological wealth of a nation. ...

This study aims to obtain data on the diversity of nisi chickens based on morphometric analysis of body weight and bioacoustics analysis of the crowing sound. The number of studies linking morphometric analysis with bioacoustics analysis is one of the reference sources used in this study. In the future, it is hoped that this research will be one of the knowledge contributions for further or similar research. The parameters used in the analysis are neck length for morphometric analysis and bioacoustics parameters using the number of crowing syllables, crowing duration, and wave frequency. The data generated from the morphometric analysis were then analyzed statistically for the average test using ANOVA, which was analyzed together with the data generated from the Cold Edit Pro software to conclude the resulting data. The parameters observed were the number of crowed syllables, crowing duration, wave frequency, and crowing frequency. The results showed that the duration of the crowing of the nisi chicken ranged from 1.922 seconds to-2.064 seconds, with an average duration of 1.9837 seconds. The morphometric analysis of neck length results showed that the average neck length of 30 chicken samples was 10.25 cm, with the shortest range being 10.0 cm and the longest being 10.8 cm. The sound analysis results for the wavelength frequency of the crowing of the nisi chicken ranged from 698.10 Hz-786.22 Hz with an average wavelength of 733.89 Hz. For the number of syllables produced from the crowing sound, uniform results are obtained in 7 syllables. The analysis results using ANOVA obtained an F count of 0.001447, smaller than F table 1.656383. This study concludes that the neck length morphometric analysis does not affect the bioacoustics analysis, so the diversity of nisi chickens analyzed shows uniformity.

Background and aim: Pelung cockerels (Gallus gallus gallus [Linnaeus, 1758]) are different from other native cockerels in that they have a long and unique voice, in addition to their tall, large, and sturdy body with a relatively heavy body weight (BW). The sound quality of pelung cockerels is affected by the structure of the syrinx and their large and strong chest muscles. The performance of the chest muscles, and subsequently its voice, is influenced by the hormone testosterone. The shell of blood clams (Anadara granosa Linnaeus, 1758), a saltwater bivalve is known to contain a natural aromatase blocker (NAB) capable of blocking the aromatase enzyme from converting testosterone to estradiol. This generates consistently high levels of testosterone. This study aimed to determine the effect of blood clam shell powder (BCSP) as an NAB on the growth, pectoralis muscle performance, and testes of pelung cockerels. Materials and methods: The study design was a completely randomized design, with 16 pelung cockerels aged 40-56 weeks divided into four treatment groups: T0 (control); T1 (BCSP [A. granosa] 0.9 mg/kg BW); T2 (zinc sulfate [ZnSO4] 0.9 mg/kg BW); and T3 (testosterone 3 mg/day). The animals were acclimatized for 7 days and then given dietary treatments for 56 days. The measurement of the comb, wattle, and chest circumference (CC) of pelung cockerels was performed on days 0, 14, 28, 42, and 56. At the end of the treatment, the pelung cockerels were sacrificed and the data of the pectoralis muscle weight (PMW), testis weight (TW), and area of the pectoralis muscle (APM) were measured. Samples of pectoralis muscle and testes were taken and fixed in 10% neutral buffer formalin for histology. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was identified by immunohistochemical staining. To measure fascicle area (FA), myofiber area (MA), and enumerate, the fascicle myofibers (NM) histology preparations were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H and E). Testicular preparations were stained with H and E to measure the diameter of the seminiferous tubules (DST) using ImageJ software. Results: The growth performance on day 56 showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher differences of CC in T1 compared to T2 and T0, in T1 and T3 compared to T0, and in T3 and T2 compared to T0. Pectoralis muscle results, that is, FA, NM, MA, and PCNA-positive cells, showed that cockerels on treatment T3 had significantly higher results than other treatments, T1 was significantly different from T2 and T0, and T2 was significantly different from T0. In addition, the TW and DST measurement of cockerels on treatment T3 were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) than the other treatment groups. Conclusion: The oral administration of BCSP in the role of a NAB at a dose of 0.9 mg/kg BW for 56 days improved the growth performance and pectoralis muscle, especially the CC, FA, NM, MA, and PCNA-positive cells parameters, but did not affect the PMW, APM, and testis of pelung cockerels. The administration of testosterone at 3 mg/day for 56 days contributed to the decrease in TW and DST, as well as atrophy of the seminiferous tubules of pelung cockerels.
... Since Indonesia has numerous unexplored local biodiversity, including 34 Indonesian indigenous chicken breeds (Henuk and Bakti, 2018;Mahardhika and Daryono, 2019), it opens up a new possibility for research and development. Pelung chicken stands in distinction among the others due to its body posture (Iskandar and Susanti, 2007), live weight gain (Iskandar, 2006;Daryono et al. 2010;Daryono and Muammar, 2013;Saragih et al. 2017), appealing plumage colors/appearances (Nataamijaya, 2010;Hidayat and Asmarasari, 2015;Fitriani et al. 2019), and its unique crowing ability (Daryono et al. 2020;Daryono et al. 2021). The unique meat flavor and texture (Suhita et al. 2015;Mahmud et al. 2017) of pelung chicken are more preferable for Indonesian taste than the regular-imported Pelung chicken, as one of the Indonesian indigenous chicken breeds, is known for its distinct characteristics. ...

Pelung chicken, as one of the Indonesian indigenous chicken breeds, is known for its distinct characteristics. Pelung chicken has been an object of selective breeding programs due to its slow-growing performance, particularly in live weight gain. Through selective breeding, the backcross and its reciprocal generations have been produced. This study was aimed to identify the phenotypes, performance in live weight gain, and insulin gene (INS) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) C1549T genotyping. The phenotypes consisted of morphometrics and morphological traits. The tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) method was used to detect the SNP C1549T of the INS gene. The live weight gain of reciprocal backcross (RBC1) outperformed the first backcross (BC1) chickens. Morphometrics and morphological traits of BC1 and RBC1 indicated a directional selection effect towards pelung chicken. The transition mutation of SNP C1549T was only detected in RBC1 chickens as CT genotype (44.44%) and TT genotype (55.56%). The presence of SNP C1549T might have a significant association with the live weight gain of RBC1. T-ARMS-PCR method is suitable for the rapid detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Additional studies are required to confirm the association of INS gene polymorphism and live weight gain with a larger population size
... The singing characteristic is inherited from their parents. A highly competing Pelung rooster is produced by the mating of a contest winner rooster with a female that had the closest bloodline to the male winner (Daryono et al. 2021). The mating ratio of one male mating with more than one female is probably not common for Pelung chickens. ...

Domestic farm animals or, Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR), are part of the global biodiversity. The existence of AnGR, mainly local breeds, is threatened, and their population data is still far from complete. This study provides information about Pelung chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus), a local chicken breed in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to offer an overview of the population, effective population size, and inbreeding rate of Pelung chickens in four regencies in West Java, Indonesia. The method used in this study was a survey of fanciers and breeders of Pelung. Interviews were conducted to reveal the production system and population data. The data were analyzed descriptively and then calculated to estimate the effective population size (Ne) as well as the rate of inbreeding (?F). This preliminary survey indicated that there was a change in the distribution of the Pelung chicken, in which Garut Regency has the largest population number of Pelung, with 5664 birds of all ages. In this study, Pelung chickens in different areas had high Ne (267-569), and the ?F can be considered fairly low (0.09-0.19). The results of the study are probably the first documentation of the population number of Pelung chickens in at least ten years. This research is the initial study that forms the basis for conducting a comprehensive survey on the Pelung chicken. This study offers an upper limit result of Ne, so that accurate diversity parameter such as using genomic information is required.
... This indicates that natural marriages still occur randomly and have no kinship in So there was a decreased in production and performance of KBC in the jorong Sungai Pincuran. The rate of inbreeding in other singer chickens is like pelung 0.88% (Daryono, et al., 2021). According to Praharani et al. (2009), an increase in the inbreeding rate of 1% can reduce production, which causes a decrease in the performance of the livestock. ...

Kokok Balenggek Chicken (KBC) is a local chicken in West Sumatra as a crowing chicken. This study aims to obtain primary data on population structure and management of KBC maintenance in in-situ areas. The respondents of this study were fifty-seven farmers who kept the KBC. The method was survey method and purposive sampling to determine the respondents. The observed variables were breeder profile, maintenance management, number of KBC, actual population (Na), effective population (Ne), and inbreeding rate. The total population of KBC in Nagari Batu Bajanjang, Tigo Lurah District is 1960, with an actual population of 610 chickens, an effective population of 600 chickens, and an inbreeding rate of 0.08%. The result showed the farmer’s profile 89.47% of respondents was in 25-55 years old, 47.37% respondent was eduucated in elementary school, 42.11% respondents has 5-10 years farming experience, 56.14% respondents distributed in Jorong Koto Tuo, 98.2% respondend raising KCB as a side business, 56.1% of KCB was for breeding purposing, and 50.88% respondents owned of 25-50 chickens. The farmers still used a traditional maintenance system with natural mating, own seed sources, and hatching methods in maintenance management. There were cuts in KBC 59.65% with 277 chickens and sales of KBC 64.91% with 397 chickens, It concluded that the increase in the KBC population in in-situ areas is still slow, so it is necessary to improve maintenance management strategies in order to maintain indigenous chicken Indonesian especially in West Sumatera.

Analysis studies of Co1 and BIK BCL2 genes in local Gorontalo chickens were carried out using real-time PCR. This study aims to detect the presence of Co1 and BIK BCL2 genes in local Gorontalo chickens so that they can be used as information on gene diversity that can be used as genetic markers to study the diversity of local chicken species in Indonesia. The method used in this study is the SYBR green real-time PCR method. The research conducted found that the concentration values of the extracted samples were in the range of 68.15-68.30 ng/µL. Meanwhile, the purity values measured at wavelength A260/A280 were obtained with purity ranges between 1.867-1.923. The amplification results of the Co1 target gene show that the Ct value is in the range of 20.90-21.20, while for Tm, it is 84.10-84.20. In the BIK BCL2 target gene analysis, the Ct value was in the range of 16.15-16.20, while for Tm, it was 91.10-91.20. From these results, it can be concluded that all research samples were sampled from six different regions detected with CT and Tm values from the real-time analysis carried out obtained homogeneous values and no more than 2 degrees of difference between samples. The research novelty was using Nisi chicken as the native, one of the local chickens in Indonesia as the object of study. Besides, we used a BIK BCL 2 gene as the marker to determine the genetic diversity of the local chicken. A suggestion for further research is to explore more diverse genes to obtain more data on genetic diversity.

Background: An optimal selective breeding program must balance ethical risks and operational costs without necessarily compromising its effectiveness and aims. For this purpose, a modular breeding simulator was used. Modular simulation acts as a preliminary evaluation instrument to predict the entire likelihood of outputs from a complex selective breeding program. Methods: A web-based modular stochastic simulator (MoBPSweb) facilitates the design-test-analysis workflow of the meat-type Pelung chicken selective breeding program with the nickname Gama Ayam Kambro. Several specific selective parameters were formulated and tested against the actual breeding scheme according to Gama Ayam Kambro's research. Three selection scenarios applied to Gama Ayam Kambro's breeding scheme, constructed based on three technical principles of crossings. These scenarios were compared based on accuracy, F coefficient, kinship, and observed phenotypes. An available feature on MoBPSweb also allowed the projections of specific economic parameters. Results: Crossing techniques, selection model scenarios, and breeding schemes determine the accuracy, F coefficient, kinship, and observed phenotypes. The selection accuracy of male 5th Kambro and Pelung could be optimized using the design of genomic selection scenario_1 and outbreeding crossing techniques, both for Broiler and Pelung selection index. The selection model scenario and similar crossing technique are also quite effective in controlling the F coefficient. However, the outbreeding crossing technique is less effective in increasing the achievements of AFE, BW49D, EN, and FCR, contrarily for FEML, TL, and BW56D. Therefore, for AFE and FEML, the selection of 5th Kambro dan Pelung males could be more optimal by using scenario_2 (BV) and scenario_3 (PHEN), respectively. Meanwhile, for BW49D and EN, the reciprocal applies. Therefore, the selection of 5th Kambro and Pelung males for FCR and BW56D would be more optimal if scenario_1 (GEN) and scenario_3 (PHEN) were used, respectively. Meanwhile, for TL, it would be more optimal if scenario_3 with a phenotype selection design was used for both. The projection of economic parameters indicates that the total operational cost per year is required around ±500 million rupiahs for these three selection model scenarios using Gama Ayam Kambro breeding scheme with 100 intensive rearing enclosure units and 50 breeding generations. In addition, the projected operational cost must consider the inflation and interest rate of rupiah per year. Conclusions: Digitalization of selective breeding program using MoBPSweb stochastic simulator allows the design-test-analysis (DTA) procedure in Gama Ayam breeding scheme and its parameters and scenarios to be executed immediately and the results evaluated in real-time. However, there are at least two things to consider about this research. Firstly, genomic parameters that are specific cause a niche of reference, which means that this research is difficult to compare with other relevant studies. Therefore, the only solution is to do directly testing in the field. Implicitly, it is projected that there will be an exponential increase in the amount of data that must be accommodated by greater computing power to maintain and increase the simulation sensitivity. Therefore, these computational requirements may need to be considered one of the operational cost components, especially for the digital integrated poultry industry.

Asmara IY, Garnida D, Partasasmita R. 2020. Crowing characteristics of Pelung chickens at different age and body weight. Biodiversitas 21: 4339-4344. Crowing characteristics such as duration, frequency, and intensity are important factors to consider in determining a good Pelung. Age and body weight are among other factors being assumed to affect crowing characteristics. The study was conducted to determine the crowing characteristics of different age and body weight. A survey was carried out in Bandung, Cianjur, and Sukabumi Districts, West Java Province, Indonesia in which a total of 98 birds was selected using a purposive technique. The observed parameters were the duration, frequency, and intensity of crowing. The duration was the length of crowing measured by seconds. Frequency is several crowing in a particular time measured by times. Intensity is the magnitude of crowing measured by decibel. The crowing was recorded from 7 AM-2 PM. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and Mann-Whitney U Test to compare data differences between research areas. The study found that the crowing duration of Pelung roosters tends to increase in older birds, but the decrease in heavier birds. Crowing frequency increase along with age and body weight. Crowing intensity is similar in different age groups, while the intensity tends to decrease in the heavier group. The results provide evidence that age and body weight of chickens are an important aspect in Pelung contest and age should be considered as a new category in Pelung contest.

Crowing-type chicken is one of the important chicken breeds in Indonesia. This study was conducted to investigate the crowing characters of Pelung chicken and the effect of exon 7 FoxP2gene polymorphism in mute chicken. Chicken were obtained from local breeder. Pelung chicken crowing and morphology characterizations were conducted in Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia. Chicken breeding (♀broiler×♂Pelung and ♀ Pelung×♂F1), DNA extraction and FoxP2gene amplification were conducted at the Faculty of Biology, Gadjah Mada University. Results showed that the crowing duration was approximately 8.435 ± 1.647 s, consisting of 1.104 ± 0.210 s first syllable, 5.532 ± 1.274 s second syllable, and 1.858 ± 0.969 s third syllable. Cross-breeding between Pelung and broiler chicken resulted in chicken progeny all of which were of non-crowing-type. Our breeding results indicated that long crowing traits followed recessive autosomal inheritance. Sanger sequencing revealed an identical exon 7 sequence in mute and normal crowing-type chicken. Therefore, crowing is an important character for determining chicken breed purity, and our bioacoustic analysis was applicable in chicken show.

Asmara IY, Garnida D, Partasasmita R. 2020. Short Communication: Duration and volume of crowing of Pelung chickens of West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 748-752. Pelung are long crowing chickens originally from West Java Province, Indonesia. The chickens are raised as singing birds due to their beautiful crowing capability. Nowadays, the chickens are distributed not only in West Java, Indonesia but also in other provinces in Indonesia because of the existence of Pelung contests. The contests evaluate singing ability of Pelung chickens and are important promotion media for the birds. In contests, crowing characteristics such as duration and intensity are important factors to determine the quality of chickens. Some factors such as age, body weight, and body morphometrics are assumed to influence crowing characteristics. The study was aimed to determine crowing duration and volume in Pelung roosters, as well as correlations of age, body weight and body morphometrics with crowing characteristics. A survey was performed to collect data involving 73 birds in two areas in West Java Province. The research locations are Cianjur and Sukabumi Districts. The results showed that roosters in all areas have similar crowing durations, while their crowing intensities are varied. The study also found that age and body weight, as well as some body-morphometries, have strong correlations with crowing characteristics. The research provides empirical evidence of factors determining vocal performance of Pelung chickens. However, more samples from different areas are required to support these findings. In addition, research on management systems, health status and participation of chickens in rehearsal is needed in the future.

The matched filter hypothesis proposes that the tuning of auditory sensitivity should match the spectral character of calls, suggesting that sender calls and receiver auditory systems have co-evolved. However, studies provide mixed evidence, and in some species, this match is imprecise. Here, we analyzed the acoustic characteristics of male calls and both male and female hearing sensitivity in an explosive-breeding toad Duttaphrynus melanostictus to test the matched filter hypothesis. Male toads emitted a series of multisyllabic calls that were composed of single notes with a dominant frequency of 1494 ± 80 Hz. The dominant frequency reflected body size and was static between males, suggesting it may be under stabilizing selection and used in species recognition. Sexual dimorphism in peripheral auditory sensitivity was also observed as females exhibited lower auditory thresholds than males across 600–2400 Hz frequency range. The relationship between vocalizations and hearing corresponded to the matched filter hypothesis, suggesting that male call spectral structure and hearing sensitivity in males and females may have co-evolved under sexual selection in D. melanostictus.

Background and Objective: The native Indonesian chicken, the Pelung, is widely known as a preferred source of meat and eggs but it has the disadvantage of relatively slow growth. Recently, %Pelung chickens were crossed with & F1 chickens (& Pelung×% Broiler chicken) to generate the first back-crossed (BC1) chicken for use as a new breed. Molecular markers were observed within the Growth hormone (Gh) gene. Avian Gh (AY461843) is one of the most important genes influencing growth-related traits; specifically, the Gh intron 3 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) G+1705A is significantly associated with the growth traits of Chinese chicken breeds. This study aimed to produce a new, fast-growing chicken line that is more homozygous for morphological traits than its parents and to observe the Gh gene intron 3 SNP G+1705A polymorphism in this BC1 chicken. Methodology: Day-old chickens (DOCs) were intensively reared for 7 weeks and weighed weekly. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics and the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of the BC1 chickens were determined at the seventh week of observation. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was performed to detect genotype differences among the BC1 populations. Results: In both sexes, weight gain was faster in the BC1 chickens (919.9 grams) than in the Pelung chickens (434.74 g) but lower than in the broiler (1.500 g) chickens. The FCR for the BC1 line (2.32) was between that of the Pelung (3.35) and broiler (1.55) chickens. The BC1 hybrid chicken genotype was 89% dominant homozygous (GG) and 11% heterozygous (GA). Conclusion: In this study, the body parameters did not significantly differ among the genotypes (GA and GG). The BC1 chicken was deemed satisfactory for use as a meat chicken.

The biological diversity of our planet is being depleted due to the direct and indirect consequences of human activity. As the size of animal and plant populations decrease, loss of genetic diversity reduces their ability to adapt to changes in the environment, with inbreeding depression an inevitable consequence for many species. This textbook provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the importance of genetic studies in conservation. The text is presented in an easy-to-follow format with main points and terms clearly highlighted. Each chapter concludes with a concise summary, which, together with worked examples and problems and answers, emphasise the key principles covered. Text boxes containing interesting case studies and other additional information enrich the content throughout, and over 100 beautiful pen and ink portraits of endangered species help bring the material to life.

The objective of present study is to compare the characteristic of the Gaga’s chicken based on morphometric and bioacoustics analysis. According to the crowing sound, so, there were two types of Gaga’s chicken were found such as, ‘slow’ type and “dangdut type”, respectively. Twenty samples were collected from Pinrang, South Sulawesi whereas the rest of seven samples were collected from Kebayoran Lama, Southern Jakarta, respectively. The body weight of the “slow type” from Pinrang was heavier (1983.53±407.55 g) than Kebayoran Lama (1620±630.77 g). The similar result was also showed the body weight of the “dangdut type” from Kebayoran Lama was lighter (1716.67±246.64 g) than from Pinrang (1872±494.69 g). Based on bioacoustic analysis the beats of “slow type” were 3-5 times whereas the beats of “dangdut type” were 4-7times.

Gaga chicken was known as local chicken, which has potential in the business of ornamental chicken in Indonesia. Gaga chicken has two types crowing sound. Three-dangdut types and seven slow types were collected from several stockbreeding in Bangkalan, Kamal Madura. The aim of the research is to investigate the biodiversity of Gaga’ chicken based on bioacoustics and morphometric measurement. The data were analyzed by Mann Withney analysis. The variables measured were neck length, body weight, femur length, tibia length, shank length, shank diameter, superior maxilla, wing length, comb height, the third length, and chest bone length. The parameters were measured, recorded, and analyzed for crowing duration and number of crowing using the voice recording tool and Ashampoo Music Studio 6 software. The results showed that dangdut type 215 g was bigger than slow type 197 g. Average crowing duration dangdut type were 7,67 second, with longest syllable were 9 syllable and crowing duration slow type were 6,71 with longest syllable were 10 syllable.
