| the helminth fauna of the barbary partridge alectoris barbara in tenerife, canary islands. | the helminth fauna of the barbary partridge (alectoris barbara) in tenerife island (canary archipelago) was studied from 2001 to 2002, as there were no records of helminths from this host in the canary islands. seven helminth species were identified: two cestodes choanotaenia infundibulum and lyruterina nigropunctata, and five nematodes aonchotheca caudinflata, baruscapillaria obsignata, eucoleus annulatus, ascaridia galli and heterakis gallinarum. lyruterina nigropunctata, a. galli and e. annul ... | 2005 | 15946395 |
| differences in semen freezability and intracellular atp content between the rooster (gallus gallus domesticus) and the barbary partridge (alectoris barbara). | this study aimed to compare viability, atp content, and dna integrity of rooster (gallus gallus domesticus) and barbary partridge (alectoris barbara) fresh and frozen spermatozoa in order to identify factors possibly related to differences in semen freezability. ejaculates were obtained from march to may by the abdominal massage method from 3 adult roosters and 12 adult barbary partridges. semen was frozen with different cryoprotectants using lake's diluents as a base medium: 1) glycerol 11%; 2) ... | 2010 | 20615529 |
| sequenced rapd markers to detect hybridization in the barbary partridge (alectoris barbara, phasianidae). | in the alectoris partridges (phasianidae), hybridization occurs occasionally as a result of the natural breakdown of isolating mechanisms but more frequently as a result of human activity. no genetic record of hybridization is known for the barbary partridge (a. barbara). this species is distributed mostly in north africa and, in europe, on the island of sardinia (italy) and on gibraltar. the risk of hybridization between barbary and red-legged partridge (a. rufa: iberian peninsula, france, ital ... | 2011 | 21429120 |
| morphometric traits of gizzard in relation to feeding habits of wild sardinian partridges (alectoris barbara barbara, bonnaterre, 1790) with particular regard to clast selection. | housing and feeding practices of wild birds for conservation management of biodiversity or restocking play a crucial role in determining the survival rates of animals when released into nature. failure in coping with the environment might be one of the main flaws captive animals can experience when put into natural habitat. the present investigation aimed at exploring feeding habits and related morphometric traits of gizzard with respective content from wild partridges in comparison with captive ... | 2016 | 27862362 |
| a new species of eimeria schneider, 1875 (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from alectoris barbara (aves: phasianidae) from the canary islands (spain). | the present study was conducted with the objective of identifying the species of eimeria present in a cynegetic farm. a new coccidian (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) species is described from barbary partridge, alectoris barbara, from the canary islands. experimental infections were carried out in order to determine the prepatent period, sporulation time, site of infection, and morphology of endogenous stages. one species is described as new. eimeria barbarae n. sp. has ellipsoidal oocysts, 20.0 × 14. ... | 2016 | 26792431 |
| a new genus and four new species of quill mites (acari: prostigmata: syringophiudae) from phasianid birds (galuformes: phasianidae). | a new genus and four new species of the quill mites are described. galliphilopsis gen. n. (g. francolinus sp. n., type species) differs from the closely related dissonus skoracki, 1999 by loss of leg setae dgii, the slightly divergent tips of epimeres i and the stylophore constricted posteriorly. three new species of the genus galliphilopsis gen. n. and one new species of the genus mironovia chirov and kravtsova, 1995 are described from galliform birds (phasianidae) collected at the museum of na ... | 2004 | 15638139 |
| growth performance, blood profiles and carcass traits of barbary partridge (alectoris barbara) fed two different insect larvae meals (tenebrio molitor and hermetia illucens). | to investigate the effect of two insect meals (from hermetia illucens, hi and tenebrio molitor, tm larvae) on productive performance and blood profiles of barbary partridge, ninety, seven days old partridges were divided into 5 groups (6 replicates, 3 partridges/replicate). up to 64d, the groups fed 5 isoproteic and isoenergetic diets: the control fed a corn-soybean meal diet (sbm group); in tm25 and tm50 groups the 25 and 50% of sbm proteins were substituted by the protein from tm, respectively ... | 2017 | 28472736 |
| mitochondrial and nuclear markers for the authentication of partridge meat and the specific identification of red-legged partridge meat products by polymerase chain reaction. | two pcr assays for the identification of partridge meat (red-legged partridge, chukar partridge, barbary partridge, and gray partridge species) and the specific identification of red-legged partridge meat products were developed based on species-specific primers targeting the 12s ribosomal rna mitochondrial gene. moreover, various pcr techniques based on the use of random amplified polymorphic dna markers and nuclear growth hormone and rhodopsin genes were tested to find a method for the differe ... | 2011 | 21177462 |
| lead in terrestrial game birds from spain. | we analysed exposure to pb and its relationship with lead-based ammunition in seven species of terrestrial game birds-common woodpigeon (columba palumbus), rock dove (columba livia), stock dove (columba oenas), european turtle-dove (streptopelia turtur), red-legged partridge (alectoris rufa), barbary partridge (alectoris barbara) and common quail (coturnix coturnix)-from rural and urban areas in different parts of spain (valencia, castilla-la mancha, castilla y león, madrid, islas canarias and n ... | 2020 | 31755055 |
| banding cytogenetics of the barbary partridge alectoris barbara and the chukar partridge alectoris chukar (phasianidae): a large conservation with domestic fowl gallus domesticus revealed by high resolution chromosomes. | the development of avian cytogenetics is significantly behind that of mammals. in fact, since the advent of cytogenetic techniques, fewer than 1500 karyotypes have been established. the barbary partridge alectoris barbara bonnaterre, 1790 is a bird of economic interest but its genome has not been studied so far. this species is endemic to north africa and globally declining. the chukar partridge alectoris chukar gray, 1830 is an introduced species which shares the same habitat area as the barbar ... | 2018 | 29896323 |
| barbary partridge meat quality as affected by hermetia illucens and tenebrio molitor larva meals in feeds. | a partial substitution (25 or 50%) of dietary protein with tenebrio molitor (tm) and hermetia illucens (hi) meals as protein sources in the diet of barbary partridge (alectoris barbara) has been tested in terms of raw and cooked meat quality. twelve partridges per feeding group (control - sbm, hi25, hi50, tm25 and tm50) were slaughtered. the peeled carcasses of the hi25, hi50, tm25 and tm50 groups were heavier than those of the sbm group, both raw and cooked. the ph, color and shear force of the ... | 2018 | 30131140 |
| prevalence of foot disorders in captive sardinian partridges (alectoris barbara barbara bonnaterre, 1790) as useful indicators of fitness to natural environment. | foot health represents an issue in wild avifauna breeding practices. in particular, prevalence of digital ulceration (du) and foot pad dermatitis (fpd) are valid indicators of welfare in wildlife conservation centres and may be interpreted as to fitness for bird's reintroduction into the wild. this study meant to test the effects of raising practices on foot pad health in captive sardinian partridges (alectoris barbara barbara bonnaterre, 1790) reared for biodiversity conservation, to assess wel ... | 2018 | 29218742 |
