Feeding of Dehulled-micronized Faba Bean ( var. minor) as Substitute for Soybean Meal in Guinea Fowl Broilers: Effect on Productive Performance and Meat Quality [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015 The present study aimed to assess the effect of dietary substitution of soybean meal (SBM) with dehulled-micronized faba bean (Vicia faba var. minor) in guinea fowl broilers on their growth traits, carcass quality, and meat fatty acids composition.

Understanding the agility of running birds: Sensorimotor and mechanical factors in avian bipedal locomotion [PDF]
, 2018 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 ...

Mycoplasma synoviaein the guinea‐fowl [PDF]
Avian Pathology, 1976 A mycoplasma strain, isolated from natural synovitis of guinea-fowl, was identified as Mycoplasma synoviae. In experimental infection this agent showed clear pathogenicity for guinea-fowl, and to a lesser degree for chickens. In guinea-fowl the strain was more likely to result in synovitis and amyloidosis when inoculated by the intravenous route and to

Microsatellite loci in Japanese quail and cross-species amplification in chicken and guinea fowl
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2002 In line with the Gifu University's initiative to map the Japanese quail genome, a total of 100 Japanese quail microsatellite markers isolated in our laboratory were evaluated in a population of 20 unrelated quails randomly sampled from a colony of wild ...

A Dynamics and Stability Framework for Avian Jumping Take-off
, 2018 Jumping take-off in birds is an explosive behaviour with the goal of providing a rapid transition from ground to airborne locomotion. An effective jump is predicated on the need to maintain dynamic stability through the acceleration phase.

Variations in zearalenone activation in avian food species [PDF]
, 2008 Zearalenone (ZEA), a widely distributed oestrogenic fusariotoxin, constitutes a potential risk for human and animal health. ZEA is metabolised to the main metabolites identified in vitro and in vivo: alpha-zearalenol (α-ZOL) and beta-zearalenol (β-ZOL ...

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.
