A respective number of pigeon and quail were purchased from Churkhai Bazar, Mymensingh at their marketing weight to compare yield quality characteristics meat. The birds then slaughtered the meat compared against live weight. samples breast, thigh drumstick kept 4°C for 24 hours. Findings reveal that thigh, drumstick, head, liver, gizzard, heart, neck shank% significantly higher in but feather ...

Maize was cofermented with pigeon pea for ogi production and evaluated for nutritional (proximate composition, minerals, vitamins, and amino acid profile analyses) and antinutritional (phytate, tannin, and trypsin inhibitor activity analyses) qualities. White maize and pigeon pea were mixed at ratios of 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50, respectively, with 100:0 serving as the control. Mixt...

In previous work (5,6), we have reported studies on a T lymphocyte hybridoma clone and the peritoneal exudate T cells (PETLES) from B10.A(5R) mice primed with the cytochrome c carboxyl terminal peptide (residues 81-103) of the tobacco horn worm moth (Manducca sextus). As expected, since B10.A(5R) is a low responder to pigeon fragment 81-104, it was found that the B10.A(5R) lymphocytes were unab...

The pigeonhole principle is a basic counting technique. It is illustrated in its simplest form as follows: We have n + 1 pigeons and n holes. We put all the pigeons in holes (in any way we want). The principle tells us that there must be at least one hole with at least two pigeons in it. Why is that true? Try to visualize the example of n = 2; therefore, we have 3 pigeons and 2 holes. Let’s try...

ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ort) is a respiratory pathogen which has been isolated throughout the world from numerous bird species. the present study was designed to isolate and characterize the ort from domestic turkeys, quails and pigeons. for this purpose, 250 samples from each bird species (turkey, quail and pigeon) with or without respiratory signs were tested by taking of tracheal...

Case Description- A 4-year-old male homer pigeon (Columba livia) with anorexia, lethargy, emaciation, and abdominal distention was referred to Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. Clinical Findings- Palpation revealed a solid mass in the caudal coelomic region. Radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations showed caudal coelo...

In an editorial entitled "PI Blood Group, Pigeon Antigens, and Respiratory Disease" in the December 1976 issue (Chest 70:694, 1976), I suggested that individuals without the P, antigen (P, blood phenotype) may have a greater risk of respiratory disease and that this hypothesis should be tested among individuals selected for respiratory disease, rather than for handling of birds. In their reply ...

Braunstein and Kritzmann (1) have reported that with pigeon breast muscle any a-amino acid, with the possible exception of glycine, is active in transamination with either a-ketoglutaric or oxaloacetic acid. On the other hand, the author (2) found that transamination in pigeon breast muscle is limited to the following reactions. a (1) Z(+)-Glutamic acid + oxaloacetic acid e a-ketoglutaric acid ...

The structure of pigeon breast muscle mitochondria was studied both in whole muscle tissue and in mitochondrial fractions separated by differential centrifugation. No evidence was found to indicate that the mitochondria of pigeon breast muscle differ in any fundamental way from those of other tissues. In particular the absence of an enveloping membrane, claimed in recent reports, was not confir...

Campanulotes flavus (Rudow, 1869) from Phaps chalcoptera is redescribed and illustrated. C. defectus Tendeiro, 1969, erroneously recorded from the extinct passenger pigeon Ectopistes migratorius, is shown to be a junior synonym of C. flavus, thus removing it from the list of lice thought to have gone extinct with the passenger pigeon. C. flavus elegans (Tendeiro, 1978) from P. elegans is elevat...
