Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3416-3429, October 2026.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Adsorption of Toxic Metals from Landfill Leachate onto Guinea Fowl Eggshells in the Era of Green Chemistry

BioResources, 2023
One of the best and most affordable ways to remove harmful metals from water is by adsorption. This study investigated the efficiency of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) eggshells as a low-cost adsorbent for cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) removal from ...

Observations on the embryonic development of domestic meat-type guinea fowl (Numida meleagris)

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2021
Guinea fowl breeding for meat production is widespread across Europe and the USA. For hatcheries to achieve their output potentials, they need in-depth knowledge about incubation techniques and guinea fowl embryonic development. The aim of this study was

Rheological and Flow Behaviour of Yolk, Albumen and Liquid Whole Egg from Eggs of Six Different Poultry Species

Foods, 2021
Liquid egg products are one of the basic raw materials for the food industry. Knowledge of their rheological and flow behaviour in real technical elements is absolutely necessary for the selection of suitable technological equipment for their processing.

Isotopic evidence for the consumption of Galliformes by the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in rural southern England

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Anthropogenic resource subsidies can drive mesopredator population growth, altering predator–prey dynamics. The red fox Vulpes vulpes is a generalist canid that can readily exploit such subsidies. In the UK, tens of millions of pheasants Phasianus colchicus and red‐legged partridges Alectoris rufa are released annually for sport shooting, potentially ...

Assessment of the feed additive consisting of lasalocid A sodium (Avatec® 150G) for turkeys, pheasants, guinea fowl, quails and partridges except laying birds thereof for the renewal of its authorisation (Zoetis Belgium SA)

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of lasalocid A sodium (Avatec® 150G) as a coccidiostat for turkeys, pheasants, guinea fowl, quails and partridges. The additive currently on the market complies with the existing conditions of authorisation.

Генетичното детерминиране на цвета на оперението при домашната токачка (Numida Meleagris)

Животновъдни науки, 2021
Токачката, макар и по-слабо и неравномерно разпространена в света, а в някои страни (в т.ч. и нашата) и сочена като нетрадиционен вид птица, добива все по-голяма популярност дори в такива страни като Скандинавските и Япония.

Conservation Status of Two Italian Local Poultry Breeds: Faraona Camosciata and Oca Padovana

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to assess the conservation status and characterize the phenotypic and genomic diversity of two endangered Italian poultry genetic resources to guide their conservation plans. Blood samples and morphometric data were collected on 50 Faraona Camosciata (FAC, Numida meleagris) and 50 Oca Padovana (OPD, Anser anser) adult ...

Candling Analysis of Egg Development in an Endangered Bird Species Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using candling images from 98 eggs, we present the first detailed description of egg and embryonic development in the endangered crested ibis. We identify diagnostic features of nonviable eggs and reveal that embryo mortality is concentrated during mid‐incubation and shortly before hatching. These findings provide a standardized reference for assessing
