Sexing in guinea fowls (Numida meleagris)

Poultry Science, 2015
Despite the potentials and contributions of guinea fowls to economic and social life in Ghana, accurate sex identification in these birds is still a major problem. Three hundred and sixty guinea fowls (180 birds per sex) were used in determining a more accurate and farmer friendly sexing technique.

Tuning of feedforward control enables stable muscle force-length dynamics after loss of autogenic proprioceptive feedback

eLife, 2020
Animals must integrate feedforward, feedback and intrinsic mechanical control mechanisms to maintain stable locomotion. Recent studies of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) revealed that the distal leg muscles rapidly modulate force and work output to ...
