Science applied
Do this, and do that. Breed this to that. ¼ of this ¾ of that. Back breed to the father or to the mother to maintain a bloodline. Lock the genes by mating brother to sister. Get genotype from the hen and phenotype from the cock. The stags get traits from the mother. These are all false or half-truth.
For decades and decades so-called gamefowl breeders passed those instructions without explanations and others follow without asking for reasons, not knowing they were just relying on lucky nicks (tsamba). Now, thanks God, scientific knowledge is available and explanations and sound ideas have started circulating.
Actually, breeders of the past had benefited from then already existing but yet unknown laws of inheritance of chicken genes. They reached specific instances without being aware of scientific principles. Now, armed with the knowledge, we can reverse the process and apply principles of genetics to reach specific instances in creating gamefowl we want.
Now such scientific knowledge is available. A new breed of breeders is coming.
The truth is that genetics has advanced so far in other chicken breeding such as layer and meat types. But not in gamefowl breeding. The biggest companies and the best minds are not as interested in gamefowl breeding. So up to now in this age of advanced technologies, gamefowl breeders continue to rely not on science but on myths, misconceptions and luck.
Oo ngayon sa tulong ng siyensya ay pwede na nating alamin alin sa mga tinuturo at sinasabi ng mga nauna satin ang tama at totoo. Marami ang hakahaka lang at walang basehan. Pero may iilan na tama naman hindi lang naipaliwanag ng husto ng may sabi dahil hindi rin nila alam.
Ngayon pamamagitan sa pagaaral ng science of breeding and genetics, malalaman natin alin ang tama, alin ang mali at samakatuwid mas mapadali ang ating pagpapalahi. Ang mga scientific na kaalaman ay makatulong upang mas mapatingkad ang ating practical na pamamaraan.
Kung wastong pagpapalahi ang paguusapan wala pang gaanong nauna satin dahil ang iba ay nauna nga sa karanasan, pero hindi sa totoong kaalaman.
