Biochemical composition of urine from farmed ostriches (Struthio camelus) in Botswana.
Biochemical and qualitative evaluation of the supernatant of urine from hydrated farmed ostriches (Struthio camelus) indicated that the urine was comparable to that described by other workers. The disparities obtained between the biochemical constituents in the present and previous studies were partly attributed to the state of hydration influenced by climatic factors. Results of the cytologica...
متن کاملSerum biochemical values of farmed ostrich (Struthio camelus) in Botswana.
Reference biochemical values for serum analytes of 126 clinically normal farmed ostriches on one farm in Botswana were established. These included sodium, potassium, chloride, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, uric acid, cholesterol, total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, glucose, triglyceride, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, copper, zinc, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferas...
متن کاملA note on endoparasites of wild ostriches (Struthio camelus) in the Mokolodi Nature Reserve, Gaborone, Botswana.
A study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of endoparasites of wild ostriches at Mokolodi Nature Reserve, Gaborone, over a 7-month period. Large numbers of strongyle eggs were recovered from faecal material in April and September and a decline in the strongyle egg counts was evident during June and July. Noteworthy was the absence of helminth eggs in faecal samples collected from chic...
متن کاملCoccidia oocysts in the faeces of farmed ostrich (Struthio camelus) chicks in Botswana.
Coccidia oocysts were demonstrated in the faeces of 53 (about 34%) of 156 apparently healthy ostrich chicks. Young chicks had the highest proportion of infestation while those more than 9 weeks old had no oocysts at all in their faeces. These coccidia may be considered no pathogenic since the infected chicks grew normally without any evidence of diarrhoea.
متن کاملFactors Affecting Reproductive Performance in Farmed Ostriches
Complete egg production data from a pair breeding flock located in South Africa were used to generate annual reproductive records for all hens exposed to breeding. Traits analysed included measures of total egg and chick production and related traits, along with egg and chick weights. Both genetic and non-genetic factors significantly influenced reproductive performance. Seasonal effects, durat...
