· Swethapriya, a layer for small scale intensive and rural poultry was developed. The bird has white plumage with brown/black spots and has potential to lay close to 200 eggs under scavenging conditions. It is particularly popular in Kerala and other regions.
· A promising broiler cross with promising body weight was developed with PB-1 and Naked neck chickens
· Low cost alternate feed ingredients to maize (fox tail millet, pearl millet or tanning free sorghum) and soyabean meal (sunflower cake or low glucosinalate mustard cake or up to 67% with til cake) for use in broiler and layer diet without affecting the performance
· Cost effective phytase, cholecalciferol or organic acids supplementation for releasing bound phosphorus from phytate of plant feed ingredients
· Effective and economic ways of detoxifying karanj cake with Isopropanol and mycotoxins with dietary manipulations in broiler diet
· Microsatellite marker based genotyping technique (non-radioactive method) for molecular characterization of chicken lines
· Molecular typing of birds with non-radioactive single stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique
· PCR based assays for detection and differentiation of Mareks disease virus and Avian Leukosis virus
· Duplex PCR for detection of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae
· PCR-RFLP method for differentiation of field strains of M gallisepticum from vaccine strains of Mycoplasma gallisepticum
· Thermostabe Newcastle disease virus vaccine for control of Newcastle disease in rural poultry
