They will be starting to look bluish before becoming greener and later will finally end up yellow. The Golden cock will have a reddish rust colour on his back and the base of his tail. Although the cocks will not have most of their colours until well into the following year they are already more colourful than the hens. Golden Pheasantsīy the time Golden Pheasants are three months old it is very easy to tell the cocks and hens apart. ![]() I have included a few species, for now, which I am repeatedly asked about. It tends to be quite difficult with pheasants until they are at least a couple of months old and if you are just starting to breed them and unsure what to look for it can be a good while longer. Keywords: Berberis vulgaris inventory, Quantification of root bark, Local conservation status, Ethno medicinal use, Market trend.I have information and photos below which will hopefully help when you are trying to determine the sex of your successfully hatched chicks. ![]() Berberies vulgaris though locally pushed in vulnerable category due to traffic of stresses, has potential to act as a source of livelihood for ultra-poor and marginalized people and can provide opportunity for enterprises development. Big gap was present between buying and selling price. Locally usage of Berberis vulgaris was for 13 different disease /conditions with highest percentage for bones fracture, stomachic problems, wound healing, jaundice, kidneys and various other type of infections. During 2012 inventory survey quantified 194917.5 kg root bark while in 2013 this figure reduces to187766.25 kg with. A systematic inventory survey was designed and Composite Plots were laid out for root bark assessment and for soil sampling in different strata in Usheri valley while the required questionnaire were filled from those specific old age peoples who were highly esteemed in this regard. Owing to inhospitable condition, terrain and rough topography, most of high altitude plants were found little bit exposed in first ever inventory study in particular area. ![]() It also illustrate the responsible factor for change its percent cover and a way to sustainable use. This paper focused on Berberis vulgris inventory design to quantify its root bark, evaluate it status keeping the IUCN criterion in background, provide a base line for future research work, assess its Ethno medicinal use and existing market trends in 2012-13. Our study show that these 15 microsatellites loci could be employed in population genetic studies for Himalayan monal and their applicability in Jungle Bush Quail, Grey francolin and Kalij pheasant. No evidence for linkage disequilibrium was observed among pair of loci. While 12 loci conformed to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05), 3 loci, i.e. The observed heterozygosity in the population ranged between 0.285 and 0.714, with mean (± s.e.) of 0.499 ± 0.125, indicating considerable genetic variation in this population. All the tested 15 microsatellite markers were polymorphic, with mean (± s.e.) allelic number of 4 ± 1.51, ranging 2–7 per locus. Fifteen microsatellite markers developed for chicken were cross-amplified in Himalayan monal. We have reported microsatellite loci for Himalayan monal for the first time. Therefore, cross-species microsatellite amplification can be an effective way in obtaining microsatellite loci for closely related taxa in bird species. Isolation and development of new microsatellite markers for any species is still labour-intensive and requires substantial inputs of time, money and expertise. This novelty needs further genetic elaborations for its clarity. Some novel findings were also observed in dendrogram in which male and female of the same species were found to be clustered with male or female of other species in separate groups. Group A was largest and subdivided into sub-groups. Dendrogram clustered all the genotypes of pheasants into two main groups A and B. Phylogeny was analyzed by constructing the dendrogram, based on PCR amplification profiles. Maximum GD (57%) was estimated between female of Himalayan monal and male of blue peacock while minimum GD (4%) was observed in two comparisons one between male of monal and female of cheer pheasant and other between the male of western tragopan and female of cheer pheasant. The results revealed low to medium level genetic diversity (GD = 4–57%) among the pheasant’s genotypes. The total genomic DNA was isolated from blood and PCR was performed by using six SSR markers. Six pheasant species koklass pheasant (Pucrasia macrolopha), Himalayan monal (Lophophorus impejanus), white crested kalij (Lophura leucomelana), western tragopan (Tragopan melanocephalus), cheer pheasant (Catreus willachii) and blue peacock (Pavo cristatus) found in Pakistan were analyzed for elaborating genetic diversity and their possible phylogenetic affinities.
