SEASONAL TRENDS OF HELMINTH PARASITES OF BOBWHITE QUAIL

Antibiotic treatment of ulcerative enteritis of bobwhite quail.

Penicillin-streptomycin, bacitracin methylene disalicylate, zinc bacitracinm, soluble bacitracin methylene disalicylate, streptomycin (25%) and spectinomycin were used as prophylactic and therapeutic treatments for ulcerative enteritis in bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus). Penicillin-streptomycin was the most effective prophylactic and streptomycin (25%) was the most effective therapeutic ag...

Impacts of predation on northern bobwhite and scaled quail

Calcium and phosphorus requirements of breeding bobwhite quail.

egg production is lowered, with the eggshells becoming pro gressively thinner. The serum calcium of the hen falls and there is a depletion of the calcium and phosphorus contents of the bones. Nevertheless, according to Branion, the percentage composition of the shell remains constant, showing that, as in bone formation, if the mineral is deposited, it is laid down in the normal proportion. Deob...

Recognition Characteristics in Covey Dialects of Bobwhite Quail

-Fifty Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) were randomly divided into two equal-size coveys at six weeks of age. At 12 weeks the separation (“hoypoo”) call was recorded from birds in both coveys. Duration and frequency characters were measured and subjected to discriminant analysis. This analysis indicated that each covey could be segregated mainly on the difference in duration between the “ho...

A Comparative Study on Seasonal Distribution of the Helminth Parasites Communities of Some Catfishes

The present investigation was carried out seasonally from October 2008 to September 2010, to study the impact of helminth parasites of catfishes of Lucknow. The fish fauna viz., Clarias batrachus, Heteropneustes fossilis, Wallago attu, Mystus vittatus and Rita rita were carried trematode, cestode, nematode and acanthocephalan parasites communities singly or mixed.
