Recently, DNA barcoding based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) has gained wide attention because of simplicity and robustness of these barcodes for species identification including birds. The current GenBank records show the COI barcodes of only one species, chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar), of the Alectoris genus. In this study, we sequenced the 694 bp segment of COI ge...

Chukar partridge raising is a profitable business. New feed additives of plant origin may be an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. This study was carried out to determine the effect of different levels of Pistacia atlantica oil on performance and pathological conditions in chukar partridge. One-day-old chukar partridge chicks were assigned to three dietary treatments of 40 birds each. ...

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. ...

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...

Palestine (27,000 km2) is home to three species of partridge belonging the family Phasianidae, majority which Chukar (Alectoris chukar J.E. Gray, 1830), a popular game bird. It one most important features wildlife in Palestine, and considered part Palestinian cultural heritage. In recent years, number has significantly decreased, it on verge extinction.

The rock partridge, Alectoris graeca, is a polytypic species declining in Italy mostly due to anthropogenic causes, including the massive releases of the closely related allochthonous chukar partridge Alectoris chukar which produced the formation of hybrids. Molecular approaches are fundamental for the identification of evolutionary units in the perspective of conservation and management, and t...
