Sex determination in birds is important to ensure good game bird management. Considering that nestlings of almost all bird species are monomorphic the sex identification based on phenotypic characteristics is almost impossible. The timely formation of bird pairs and flocks is the base of good management and for this reason, it is necessary to know the bird sex in hunting area. The aim of this work was to develop a suitable method for rapid sex determination based on molecular markers (CHZ, CHDW) which could be used in game birds. DNA was isolated from feathers and the amplification of the CHD gene was performed using 2550F/2718R set of PCR primer. sex was determined using CHD gene in all tested samples of 7 game bird species. Method developed in this study could be used for establishing of sustainable management of hunting bird species and for effectively sex determination in game birds.
