liver histogenesis in chukar partridge (alectoris chukar) embryo
Authors
abstract
introduction: in chick embryo, endodermal component of the liver becomes split into 2 diverticula in a short time. the anterior diverticulum lies to the left of the ductus venosus and the posterior one to its right side. as the liver primordium grows, it is invaded by the embryonic veins. based on the different incubation time periods and evolutionary origin of avian species, various times for morphogenetic events of the liver are expected. the chukar partridge (alectoris chukar) belongs to a common family with the chicken and shows 3 to 4 days longer embryonic period. this study was designed to describe normal histological and histochemical events of the liver histogenesis of the chukar partridge. it would be interesting to see how the time and sequence of developmental events of liver histogenesis are similar to those of the chick embryo. methods: in this study, partridge (alectoris chukar) embryos were studied from day 5 to 24 of incubation. in the course of the study, their liver 5-μm thick sagittal and transverse sections were prepared. then, the sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (h&e;) and periodic acid schiff (pas) methods and studied under the light microscope. results: during the histogenetic study of the chukar partridge liver, we noted the structures and events such as the dark and light hepatocytes, mitotic divisions, sinusoids and kupffer cells, as well as the glycogen storage in the hepatocytes and their development, also changes due to the time of incubation period. conclusion: although the sequential events of the liver histogenesis of chukar partridge follow the general pattern of the other birds, some differences exist in the time of formation liver components compared to other studied species.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish the identity of the parasitic communities of the chukar partridge from Iraq as well as reporting on the prevalence and intensity of various infections from several localities and comprising both sexes. METHODS Twenty-nine live adult chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) were obtained from several localities across the northern provinces of Iraq. ...

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...

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. Body mass showed ̄uctuations during the year, reaching a maximum in late winter and spring and a minimum in summer. Bergmann's rule predicts that in warmblo...

Introduction: There are differences in the pattern of the knee joint formation of the studied species. According to the small number of studies which focused chronologically on the avian knee histomorphogenetic events, its “morphogenetic pattern” is hard to be proposed. The present work was designed to identify the sequential events of the knee formation in the partridge embryo. Regarding to di...
