The Hinai-dori is a native breed of chicken from the Akita Prefecture in Japan. A cross between the Hinai-dori and Rhode Island Red breeds has been commercialized as the Hinai-jidori chicken, one of the most popular brands of chicken in Japan. Here, a method of discriminating between the Hinai-jidori and other chickens is described. Individuals (555) of the Hinai-dori breed were analyzed by using 37 microsatellite markers on the Z chromosome. Fourteen of the marker loci (ABR1003, ADL0250, ABR0241, ABR0311, ABR1004, ABR1013, ABR0633, ABR1005, ABR0089, ABR1007, ABR1001, ABR1009, ABR1010, and ABR1011) were fixed in the Hinai-dori breed. So, the Hinai-jidori chicken, F(1) of the Hinai-dori breed, must have at least one of the alleles with all fixed loci. When these alleles on 14 loci from the Hinai-dori breed were not detected in meat samples, it would be judged that the samples were not the Hinai-jidori chicken. Thus, the use of these 14 microsatellite markers provides a practical method of accurately discriminating the Hinai-jidori chicken from other chickens on the market.

Is a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Marker in the Cholecystokinin A Receptor Gene Practically Suitable for Improving the Growth Traits of Hinai-jidori Chickens?

Article Synopsis
- A previous study found a link between a specific SNP (g.420 C>A) in the cholecystokinin type A receptor gene and improved growth traits in the Hinai-dori chicken breed from Japan.
- In this study, researchers confirmed that the same SNP also positively affects growth traits in Hinai-jidori chickens, a hybrid of Hinai-dori and Rhode Island Red chickens.
- The results indicated that chickens with the A/A genotype had significantly higher body weights and growth rates, suggesting that this SNP could be a valuable marker for enhancing growth in selective breeding programs for Hinai-jidori chickens.*
Gene expression patterns of chicken neuregulin 3 in association with copy number variation and frameshift deletion.

Article Synopsis
- Neuregulin 3 (NRG3) is crucial for brain development and is linked to mental disorders, with genetic variations potentially affecting various traits in chickens.
- Researchers studied three chicken breeds to understand how a specific 2-bp deletion in NRG3 influences its structure and expression patterns.
- They discovered differences in allele presence among breeds, identified seven new transcript variants without the deletion-associated termination codon, and found that the expression levels of these new variants were similar between groups, but the traditional variants were less expressed in those with the deletion.

We developed a new tool for testectomy and investigated the efficiency with regard to caponizing time and growth performance in Hinai-jidori chickens, a popular breed of chicken in Japan. Hinai-jidori chicks were divided into 2-, 4-, and 8-wk caponized groups and an intact male group (20 birds/group) at 2 wk of age and were raised until 26 wk of age. The testes of the male chicks caponized at 8 wk of age were surgically removed from both sides using a Japanese traditional tool, whereas those of male chicks caponized at 2 and 4 wk of age were surgically removed from only one side using the new tool.

The Hinai-dori is a breed of chicken native to the Akita prefecture in Japan. A cross between the Hinai-dori and Rhode Island Red breeds has been commercialized as the Hinai-jidori chicken, one of the most popular brands in Japan. High arachidonic acid (AA) content is a characteristic feature of Hinai-jidori chicken meat.

Recently, we reported a method for discriminating a Japanese brand of chicken, the Hinai-jidori. As an application of this method for discriminating Hinai-jidori eggs, we here report an efficient method for extracting maternal DNA from eggshells. Eggshell powder was completely decalcified with EDTA solution, and then DNA was isolated by conventional phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation.
