Summary

The study was conducted to investigate the phenotypic diversity of Guajolote present in small backyard poultry operations. From September 2004 to July 2006, in 54 municipalities in the coastal region of Oaxaca, Mexico 768 “guajalotes” growers were visited. Eleven different phenotypes of Guajolote, previously described as turkey varieties, have been identified. The phenotypes identified and their frequency are: Bronze (30.1%), Black (29.0%), Royal Palm (13.4%), Auburn (5.3%), Bourbon Red (5.2%), Narragancet (2.6%), Spotted (2.4%), Brown (2.2%), Slate (1.7%), White (1.5%) and Imperfect Albino (0.2%). The remainder (6.4%) were not identified as a phenotype previously described. This is the first report about the phenotypic differentiation of Guajolote in Mexico.

Résumé

Une étude a été mise en place pour connaître la diversité phénotypique des “guajalotes” (une espèce de dinde) dans les petites exploitations avicoles de basse cour. De septembre 2004 à juillet 2006 on a visité 768 producteurs dans 54 municipalités de la côte de la région de Oaxaca (Mexique). On a identifié 11 phénotypes différents de “guajalotes” qui avaient été décrits précédemment comme étant des variétés de dinde. Les phénotypes identifiés avec leur présences respectives sont: Bronze (30,1%); Black (29%); Royal Plan (13,4%); Auburn (5,3%); Bourbon Red (5,2%); Narragancet (2,6%); Spotting (2,4%); Brown (2,2%); Slate (1,7%); White (1,5%); et Albinisme imparfait (0,2%), le reste de l'échantillon n'a pas été identifié parmi les phénotypes indiqués ci-dessus. Il s'agit du premier rapport sur la différence phénotypique des “guajalotes” au Mexique.

Resumen

Se elaboró un estudio para conocer la diversidad genética de los Guajolotes presentes en las pequeñas explotaciones avícolas de traspatio. De Septiembre de 2004 a Julio de 2006 en 54 municipios de la región costa de Oaxaca, México; se visitaron 768 productores. Hasta el momento se han identificado 11 fenotipos diferentes de Guajolotes descritos anteriormente. Los fenotipos identificados y su frecuencia son: Bronze (30.10%), Black (29.01%), Royal Palm (13.36%), Auburn (5.27%), Bourbon Red (5.24%), Narragancet (2.62%), Spotting (2.41%), Brown (2.19%), Slate (1.74%), White (1.53%) y Albinismo imperfecto (0.21%), el resto de la muestra no fue identificado como algún fenotipo descrito anteriormente. Este es el primer reporte sobre diferenciación fenotípica de Guajolotes para México.
