The Asil or Aseel is an Indian breed or group of breeds of game chicken . It is distributed in much of India, particularly in the states of Tamil Nadu , Andhra Pradesh , Chhattisgarh and Odisha ;[2] it has been exported to several other countries. Similar fowl are found throughout much of Southeast Asia.[citation needed ]
It is one of the parent breeds of the Indian Game , developed in the West Country of England in the early nineteenth century.[8]
History
[ edit ]
The Asil originated in the Indian subcontinent , the area that includes modern India, Pakistan , Bangladesh and Sri Lanka ;[9] it is thought to be among the oldest breeds of fighting cock .[10] : 47 [11] The word "Asil" is from Arabic , and means "purebred ".[9] In India, it is a general term for all fighting breeds.[4]
In India the Asil is distributed particularly in the Khammam district of Andhra Pradesh , in the Bastar and Dantiwara districts of Chhattisgarh , and in the Koraput and Malkanagiri districts of Odisha .[2] It is also present in Bangladesh and Pakistan, which were part of India until Partition , and is found in other countries including Australia, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, the United States and Uruguay.[12]
An Asil bantam was created in the late nineteenth century by the British breeder William Flamank Entwisle;[13] : 47 it became popular in Britain and in Holland, but later died out.[9] In the 1980s it was re-created in Belgium by Willy Coppens, using Shamo , Indian Game and Reza Asil; it is bred in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Hungary and the United Kingdom, in a variety of colours .[9]
In 2005 the Asil was the only Indian breed of chicken not in need of conservation.[14] : 17 In 2007 its global conservation status was listed by the FAO as "not at risk".[1] : 151 In 2021 its status was reported to DAD-IS as "unknown";[2] the Livestock Conservancy in the United States listed it as "threatened".[15]
