Development of the digestive tract in the ostrich (struthio camelus)

Archives of Animal Nutrition, 2003
A study was conducted to investigate changes in the development of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in relation to body growth of growing ostriches. There was an 11-fold increase (P < 0.001) in body weight between 3 and 72 days of age. The relative (to body weight) weight of the proventriculus/gizzard, caeca and colon also increased (P < 0.001) with ...

Trichostrongylid nematode infections in ostriches (Struthio camelus) in Belgium

Veterinary Record, 2009
INITIALLY imported from Southern Africa, most ostriches ( Struthio camelus ) are now bred locally in Belgium, with a current population of approximately 3300 ostriches. Ostriches can be infected with a variety of parasites, of which the blood-feeding nematode Libyostrongylus douglassii ...

Microanatomical study of testis in juvenile ostrich (Struthio camelus)

Anatomical Science International, 2013
The majority of investigations on the testis, as the main organ of male reproductive system, have been performed in mammalian species, with few studies on bird species. Thus, the structure of the ostrich testis remains largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the microanatomical characteristics of the testis in five juvenile ostriches.

Morphological development of testes in ostrich (Struthio camelus) embryo

Anatomical Science International, 2013
Although the histological structure of ostrich testis has been studied, very little information is currently available on the embryonic development of this organ. The aim of this study was to determine the sequence of the histological changes in diverse components of the testis in ostrich embryo from embryonic day (E) 20 to E42.

Impaction of the Stomachs in Farmed Ostriches (Struthio camelus) in Botswana

Avian Diseases, 1998
Impaction of the proventriculus, gizzard, and sometimes intestines due to sand was confirmed at postmortem in 25 cases involving ostriches (Struthio camelus). Although there was no age predisposition, impaction was more common in juvenile over 3 mo old.

Isolation of an influenza A virus from ostriches (Struthio camelus)

Avian Pathology, 1993
An influenza A virus of the H7 N1 subtype was isolated from young ostriches which died after developing a syndrome characterized by a green discolouration of the urine, weakness and signs of respiratory distress. Mortality varied, depending on the age of the ostriches, the presence of other infectious agents and the amount of stress to which they were ...

Experimental Infectious Bursal Disease in the Ostrich ( Struthio camelus )

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2007
Clinically severe disease was produced in ostriches aged 4 weeks by oral infection with a virulent strain of infectious bursal disease virus (vIBDV), namely strain Faragher 52/70. Four days after infection the birds were humanely killed and tissue samples, including thymus, bursa of Fabricius (BF), brain and kidney were collected for examination ...

Aortic rupture in ostriches (Struthio camelus)—A comparative study

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1977
Abstract Three ostriches ( Struthio camelus ) were found to have medial mucoid degeneration of the aorta at necropsy. Two of the birds had been fed turkey growers' pellets and in them the anterior aortas had ruptured, at sites free from atherosclerosis. The lesions are compared with those in other species, including man.

Newcastle disease in ostriches (Struthio camelus) — a review

Avian Pathology, 2000
Newcastle disease (ND) in ostriches was first reported in zoo birds in the 1950s. An outbreak of ND in commercial ostriches in Israel was reported in 1989, but of more significance were the ND infections of ostriches in southern Africa during the 1990s as a result of assumed spread from commercial domestic fowl.
