Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of Coxiril® (diclazuril) as a feed additive for guinea fowl [PDF]
Coxiril®, containing 0.5 % diclazuril, is intended for use in the control of coccidiosis in guinea fowl at concentrations between 0.8 and 1.2 mg diclazuril/kg complete feed. Since diclazuril from Coxiril® is considered safe for turkeys for fattening with

Adenovirus‐associated haemorrhagic disease in guinea fowl [PDF]
Nine outbreaks of a disease affecting 2 to 5-month-old guinea fowl, characterized by slight depression and sudden deaths, are described. Gross haemorrhages in the serosa and muscles were constantly observed. Histologically nuclear inclusion bodies, similar to those observed in avian adenovirosis group II were detected in the spleen of affected animals.

Understanding the agility of running birds: Sensorimotor and mechanical factors in avian bipedal locomotion [PDF]
Birds are a diverse and agile lineage of vertebrates that all use bipedal locomotion for at least part of their life. Thus birds provide a valuable opportunity to investigate how biomechanics and sensorimotor control are integrated for agile bipedal ...

Chicken and Quail Microsatellite Markers Reveal Polymorphisms in Guinea Fowl
Microsatellite markers are tandem repeats of short nucleotides which are abundant, evenly distributed and highly polymorphic in eukaryotic genomes. As such, they are a useful tool in poultry breeding.

EVALUATION OF GENETIC SIMILARITY BETWEEN WHITE AND GREY VARIETIES OF GUINEA FOWL (NUMIDA MELEAGRIS) [PDF]
The aim of the study was to determine DNA polymorphism between and within white and grey varieties of guinea fowl. At the end of 12 weeks of age, blood was sampled from 13 white and 16 grey guinea fowl, and DNA was isolated.
