We designed a pair of primers for sex identification in the brown eared‐pheasant ( Crossoptilon mantchuricum ) based on the mechanism of PCR amplification of CHD fragments, and identified the number of products. The new primers were considered to have more sensitivity than P2/P8, and cross‐species application indicated that they can also be used for sex identification in other species of Phasianidae and Passeriformes.
