Abstract: Background and Objective: Noi is classified as a medium and slow-growing chicken breed of Vietnam, mainly for meat quality and fighting. This study aimed to evaluate carcass performances of Noi broilers at 91 days old. Materials and Methods: A total of 355 Noi chickens (164 males and 191 females) were slaughtered at the time point of 91 days old to record and calculate cut-up traits of the carcass. Results: Most of the evaluated traits were significantly different (p0.05). In addition, genders significantly affected some cut-up portions such as live weight and carcass weight, except differences in weights of breast yield and abdominal fat, which was found in contrast. Live weight, in overall, significantly correlated with most carcass traits (pConclusion: The findings showed that Noi male broilers had better performances in the live weight and carcass parameter than the female ones, suggesting opportunities for management and genetic improvement through the selection and cross-breeding of the indigenous chicken population.
