The objective of the study were to investigate the effects of different breeder (broiler, native chick and layer) on growth parameter and tenderness of meat. Seven-day-old broiler, native chicks and layers (20 birds per breeds)were kept in individual cages from 7 to 42 days of age. Feed and water were freely available to chick at all time. Growth performance (ADG; average daily gain and FCR; feed conversion ratio) of broiler chicks were greater than native chicks and layers (P0.01). Breast meat of native chick was shown to tenderness than all chicks, but it did reach statistical differ (P0.05). Firmness of meat in thigh of native chicks was better than layer (P0.05), but there was no statistical differ (P0.05) when compared with broiler. From the present study, it can be concluded that native chick were contained less tenderness of breast meat and more tenderness of thigh met. These parameters would be preferred by consumer.
