| radiographic monitoring of the ossification of long bones in kori (ardeotis kori) and white-bellied (eupodotis senegalensis) bustards. | a serial radiographic study was conducted on eight kori bustard (ardeotis kori) and four white-bellied bustard (eupodotis senegalensis) chicks to determine the pattern of long bone development and to establish radiographic standards for assessing skeletal maturity. the ossification pattern, appearance of secondary ossification centres, and epiphyseal fusion of the long bones in kori and white-bellied bustards were similar to those in houbara bustards (chlamydotis undulata macqueenii), rufous-cre ... | 1998 | 9839896 |
| bacterial flora of the conjunctiva and nasal cavity in normal and diseased captive bustards. | a survey was carried out to describe the normal aerobic bacterial flora of the conjunctiva and nasal cavity of captive houbara bustards (chlamydotis undulata), kori bustards (ardeotis kori), and white-bellied bustards (eupodotis senegalensis) maintained at the national avian research center, abu dhabi, united arab emirates. a total of 58 samples were examined from the nasal cavity and 55 samples from the conjunctiva of healthy bustards. there was no bacterial growth in 45% of conjunctival sample ... | 2001 | 11417826 |
| an outbreak of low pathogenic avian influenza in a mixed-species aviculture unit in dubai in 2005. | this case describes an outbreak of low pathogenic hemagglutinin 9 neuraminidase 2 avian influenza virus (aiv) in two white-bellied bustards (eupodotis senegalensis), one stone curlew (burhinus oedicnemius), and a blacksmith plover (antibyx armatus) in a private zoologic collection in dubai, united arab emirates. the four birds showed signs of respiratory disease, and all died as a result of disease or euthanasia. attention has been paid to the diagnostic process and common differential diagnosis ... | 2006 | 16931369 |
| plasma concentrations of vitamin e in six species of bustard (gruiformes: otididae). | vitamin e (measured as alpha-tocopherol) and cholesterol concentrations were determined in plasma samples collected from 86 clinically healthy captive adult bustards of six species and 23 captive juveniles (6-12 mo old) of two of these species. adult houbara bustards (chlamydotis undulata macqueenii) had higher plasma alpha-tocopherol concentrations than juveniles (adult: mean +/- se, 11.07 +/- 0.41 micrograms/ml, n = 32; juvenile: 6.33 +/- 0.48, n = 12) and higher alpha-tocopherol: cholesterol ... | 2002 | 12038141 |
| radiographic analysis of the growth rate of long bones in bustards. | a serial radiographic study was conducted on seven houbara bustard (chlamydotis undulata macqueenii), 10 rufous-crested bustard (eupodotis ruficrista), four white-bellied bustard (eupodotis senegalensis) and eight kori bustard (ardeotis kori) chicks to determine the growth rate of long bones and to establish radiographic standards for assessing skeletal maturity. the growth rates of the tarsometatarsus and tibiotarsus in the bustard species investigated were similar to those in domestic fowl (ga ... | 2000 | 11124094 |
| comparative morphology of the alimentary tract and its glandular derivatives of captive bustards. | this study describes the gross anatomy of the alimentary tract of houbara bustards (chlamydotis undulata macqueenii), kori bustards (ardeotis kori), rufous-crested bustards (eupodotis ruficrista) and white-bellied bustards (eupodotis senegalensis) maintained in captivity by the national avian research center in the united arab emirates. the morphology of the alimentary tract and the proportions of each region were similar in all 4 species. the length of the oesophagus, combined proventriculus an ... | 1997 | 9418995 |
| age-related hematologic changes in captive-reared houbara, white-bellied, and rufous-crested bustards. | blood samples were obtained at monthly intervals between april 1994 and march 1996 from captive-bred houbara (chlamydotis undulata macqueenii), rufous-crested (eupodotis ruficrista gindiana), and white-bellied (eupodotis senegalensis) bustards from 4-24 wk of age. hematology investigations were conducted to determine age-related changes and to establish reference values for growing chicks of these species. there were significant age-related changes in hematocrit, hemoglobin, and red cell count i ... | 2002 | 12528450 |
