The economic, physiological and immunological costs of endo-parasitism are documented to be higher in poultry with greater parasite intensities and diversity. The current study was undertaken to determine the effects of helminth burden in domestic guinea fowls at quantified natural infestation levels on body condition, haematological profile and spleen morphometrics. We hypothesized that the sp...

In the early investigations into the nature of the etiologic agent of fowl tumors, immunity phenomena were given some attention. The first observation was that the manifestations of resistance to these tumors in fowls, whether natural or acquired, are similar to those established for mammalian tumors, the principal feature being a local cellular reaction about the introduced graft (1). As was a...

In this paper we investigate how teaching programming to the modern generation of students, “digital natives” who grew up with Google and Facebook and do not know the world before the Internet, can be improved through a highly visual game-like approach. Many programming teachers report that modern programming students have short attention span, lack concentration and have poor motivation to lea...

The present study aimed to describe and compare the histomorphological histochemical structures ventriculus in Goose(Anser anser) Guinea fowls (Numidia meleagris). work was carried out on twenty apparently clinically healthy birds obtained from a supplier Baghdad city. They were allocated two equal groups of each type bird. utilized for histological investigations their organ. After anesthesia ...

We tested seven hypotheses regarding the mechanisms by which fluctuating asymmetry (FA) originates. We did this by analyzing data on four bilateral characters measured repeatedly during the development of individual domestic fowl. Immediately posthatching, there was substantial directional asymmetry, which rapidly decreased. We detected FA at significant levels in all characters in the majority...
