Abstract

SUMMARY: Dong Tao Chicken is a variety of chicken indigenous to Vietnam. Particularly from Hong Yen, in Northern Vietnam. Dong Tao is well known for its exorbitant prices. Dong Tao chicken’s high selling price is influenced by a number of reasons, including outstanding meat quality, great consumer interest, and limited availability. The size of the leg bones distinguishes Dong Tao from other species of chicken. Huge leg bones cause the growth of large muscles, resulting in a significantly greater leg morphology than other varieties of chicken in general. No research report is currently available that comprehensively compares Dong Tao chicken to any other variety. As a result, this paper discusses the structure and morphology of Dong Tao in comparison to other poultry breeds, as well as its breeding methods, nutritional value content, and processing techniques. According to literary studies, Dong Tao Animal Husbandry is generally practiced in traditional and semi-cultural methods. Dong Tao has similar nutritional value as other chickens. Furthermore, like other chicken meat chain manufacturing, Dong Tao has at least four subsystem limits. © 2024 World’s Poultry Science Association.
