In order to study the normal haematopoiesis, cellular components and M/E ratio in the bone marrow of the partridge (Alectoris chukar), bone marrow samples were collected from the proximal tibiotarsus bone of 16 clinically healthy adult partridge (9 male and 7 female). The bone marrow smears were stained using the Giemsa stain. The results indicated that the development and formation of blood ce...

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...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the health situation chukar partridges through several diagnostic methods. We investigated a total 224 birds in eighteen populations throughout Turkey, fourteen wild and four captive. molecular sexing method used for gender identification. Clinically, traumatic lesions inflammatory reactions were most commonly observed eyes extremities Chukar Partridges bre...

The aim of this study was to examine the distribution glycoconjugates in conjunctival epithelium partridge (Alectoris chukar) and quail (Coturnix coturnix). Eyelid samples harvested from both species were subjected routine tissue processing. Lectin histochemistry applied sections order demonstrate expression glycoconjugates. Six different HRP-conjugated lectins (Con A, UEA-I, PNA, HPA, MAA BSA ...
