Liver Histogenesis in Chukar Partridge (Alectoris Chukar) Embryo

Effect of halofuginone (Stenorol) on Chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar).

This study was conducted to assess the effect of the coccidiostat halofuginone (Stenorol) on growth, feed consumption, and survival of Chukar partridge. Halofuginone was fed to three replicates (14 chicks per replicate) of chukar chicks from 2 to 7 d of age at levels of 0, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 and 12 ppm. Mortality from 2 to 7 d was 0, 0, 0, 11, and 21 birds, respectively, by treatment. Seven-day body...

Global warming, Bergmann's rule and body mass ± are they related? The chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) case

Using museum specimens collected in Israel during the second half of the 20th century, no support was found for the hypothesis that body mass and tarsus length of chukar partridges Alectoris chukar has changed as a result of global warming.
