This study was carried to determine the growth performance, meat productivity and quality of 3/4 Dong Tao (ĐT) and 1/4 Luong Phuong (LP) crossbred chickens raising. The growth performance was determined on the 180 chicks from one day of age to 24 weeks. We first randomly divided all the chicks into 3 cocks and 3 hens to determine the meat yield and meat quality at 16, 20 and 24 weeks of age. The survival rate of 3/4ĐT and 1/4LP from one day of age to 24 weeks was 98.33%. At 24 weeks, the alive weight was 3068.33 g for cocks and 2046.67 g for hens. The average daily gain of chickens gradually increased from 1 to 12 or 13 weeks for hens and cocks, respectively and then decreased. From 19 to 20 weeks of age, the growth rate was very low with ADG/day at 12.9 g (cocks) and 8.21 g (hens). The FCR of chickens in period 20 weeks was 4.47 and in period 24 weeks was 5.15. The 3/4ĐT and 1/4LP chickens had a high meat yield and good quality of meat. In conclusion, it is possible to use the 3/4 Dong Tao and 1/4 Luong Phuong in the production of broiler chickens.
