Genetic Programs

Every program has a thesis. Every thesis is proven by data.

Gallora operates 5 genetic programs with individual traceability, documented lineage and selection index (IS) for every bird.

Selection Methodology

Every bird is evaluated by a composite selection index (IS) that combines three dimensions:

01

Phenotype

Conformation, color and live weight. How close the bird is to breed standard.

02

Reproduction

Fertility, hatchability and laying rate. The productive performance of the bird.

03

Adaptation

Rusticity, temperament and health. How well the bird thrives under real field conditions.

5 Active Programs

P5 FLAGSHIP G0 → G1

Rhode Island Red Gallora

RIR with APA conformation and documented color. Mahogany (B/B) + Mh selection for rich, uniform color.

4+ generations tracked · APA standard · IS > 80% elite threshold

P4 EXPERIMENTAL In development

Suro Lavanda

Lavender plumage (lav/lav) with unique type. Gallora's flagship program for genetic innovation.

Proprietary line · Controlled inbreeding (F < 0.125) · Unique phenotype

P3 DUAL PURPOSE Selection

Naked Neck BSB

Na gene (naked neck) + BSB conformation. Heat tolerance and meat yield in one package.

Na/na+ heterozygous · Adapted to tropical climate · High rusticity

P2 PRODUCTION Selection

Colored Egg Layer

High laying rate (> 250 eggs/year) with colored eggshell. Production focus without losing genetic quality.

> 250 eggs/year target · Colored shell · Reproduction IS weight: 50%

P1 RUSTICITY Foundation

Improved Free Range

Maximum adaptability to extensive conditions. Rusticity and resilience as primary selection criteria.

Adaptation IS weight: 40% · Semi-confinement · Field-proven

Genetic Principles

Never sacrifice type for color. Color fixes in 3-4 generations. Type takes 5-7.

Every selection decision at Gallora follows this hierarchy: conformation and type first, then reproductive performance, lastly color and aesthetic details. A bird with perfect color and poor type is culled. A bird with excellent type and off-color stays in the program.

All crosses are documented with parents, expected genotypes and observed results. No cross is repeated from memory — everything is recorded in the system.
