Baka pangalan lang ang bago, walang bagong lahing nabuo
Hindi lahat ng manok na binigyan ng "pangalan ng lahi kuno" ay totoong bagong linyada. Maari kasi na bigyan ng bagong pangalan ang dati nang linyada o kaya kahit isang cross.
Halimbawa maaring si breeder A ay nagpapalahi ng puro gilmore hatch na galing kay breeder B. Pero sa halip na ipagpatuloy ni breeder A ang pagtawag nito na gilmore ay tatawagin nya "galingmore.' Ang mangyayari ang pangalan ay bago ngunit ang langkay ng manok ay dating nang linyada, hindi bago.
Maari ring i cross ni breeder A ang gilmore na galing kay breeder B sa roundhead na galing kay breeder C pero sa halip na tawagin na gilmore x roundhead ito ay tatawagin nya na "galinghead."
Oo panibagong pangalan, "galinghead" pero hindi ito bagong linyada kundi isang cross.
Paano ba talaga ang pagbuo ng bagong linyada o bloodline? Lahat ng bagong linyada ay nagsisimula bilang cross at ito ay dadaan sa proseso bago maging tunay na bagong linyada- lahi, strain o pamilya.
Paano nga ba bumuo ng linyada?
Forming a bloodline
The process of forming a new bloodline we can call our own invariably involves inbreeding at some point but maintaining said new bloodline calls for out breeding, no longer inbreeding.
The process advocated by Dr. Bunan is as follows: · Cross breed until you hit a cross that possesses the qualities you desire for a new bloodline. · Inbreed in order to purify the desired traits and promote consistency. · Separate the inbred into different families. Over time or after six generations these separate families will become unrelated to one another. ·
Mate or outbreed individuals from one family with individuals from the other families in the process maintaining the bloodline’s composition but avoiding inbreeding. This is the best process, a model on how to form a new bloodline. Individuals produced in this manner are not only pure as far as traits are concerned but also pure as far as bloodline composition. The process will, however, take time. It may take at least seven years, often more-- too long for practical purposes. Traditional breeders do this. They would say ―to protect the integrity of our bloodline.‖ Another phrase oftrepeated by traditional breeders is ―I have kept this bloodline for so many years without any infusion.
As a practical breeder, I doubt if it could be done without severe deterioration or breakdown of the line. But true or not, right or wrong these phrases always add significance to their bloodlines to the eyes of a potential buyer or newcomers to the game. But again, for practical breeders, what is important is to purify the desired traits, not the bloodline. If purifying attributes and characteristics will do the trick, why bother doing for so many years what you could achieve in one or two?
