The major objective of this study was to determine body dimensions and carcass characteristic of hens and roosters Minh Du (MD) chickens at 90 days old. The animals were fed until slaughter age at commercial barn. A total of 66 chickens (33 hens and 33 roosters) were sellected to record body dimensions after that 12 chcikens (6 hens and 6 roosters) were slaughtered to analyse carcass yields. Most of evaluated traits and carcass paramesters also liver weight in males were significant (P0.05) was found for organs cut-up parts. In contract, most of carcass propotions were ineffective (P>0.05) between gender except the smaller weight of thigh meat propotion (Phens. In conclusion, the findings showned that MD roosters had better performances in live weight and carcass parameter than hens ones, those datas can be used for managerments, consumers and genetic cross-breeding improvement.
