Functions of innate and acquired immune system are reduced in domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica) given a low protein diet.

Racing pigeons are exposed to and act as carriers of diseases. Dietary protein requirement for their maintenance has not been determined experimentally despite their being domesticated for over 7000 years. A maintenance nitrogen (protein) requirement (MNR) for pigeons was determined in a balance study using diets containing 6, 10 and 14% crude protein (CP). Then, the effects of feeding the diet...

Orthographic processing in pigeons (Columba livia).

Learning to read involves the acquisition of letter-sound relationships (i.e., decoding skills) and the ability to visually recognize words (i.e., orthographic knowledge). Although decoding skills are clearly human-unique, given they are seated in language, recent research and theory suggest that orthographic processing may derive from the exaptation or recycling of visual circuits that evolved...

Blood Biochemical Profile of Young and Adult Racing Pigeons (Columba livia domestica) in Egypt

This study was conducted to determine the effect of age on blood biochemical profile of racing pigeons (Columba livia domestica) in Egypt. One hundred healthy racing pigeons of five different age groups (week old, 2 week old, 3 week old, 4 week old as young age and 30 week old as adult age) were used in this experiment. Blood values of packed cell volume (PCV), hemoglobin (Hb), differential leu...

Putative adult neurogenesis in two domestic pigeon breeds (Columba livia domestica): racing homer versus utility carneau pigeons

Generation of neurons in the brains of adult birds has been studied extensively in the telencephalon of song birds and few studies are reported on the distribution of PCNA and DCX in the telencephalon of adult non-song learning birds. We report here on adult neurogenesis throughout the brains of two breeds of adult domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica), the racing homer and utility carneau...
