Pigeons are omnipresent birds which belong to the order, Columbiformes and cover a large part of every town city, worldwide. Among parasites pigeons, Capillaria is found be more prevalent in them after Eimeria. These worms penetrate deeply intestinal mucosa leading haemorrhages epithelial necrosis thereby presenting clinical disease death occurs if left untreated. The major purpose this study w...

The progressive decrease in the efficiency of synthetic drugs has prompted research into phytogenic feed additives with potentially immunomodulatory and anti-infective properties. Complex diseases with a mixed etiology, including viral, pose a growing problem in domestic pigeons. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of various doses of aloe vera and licorice extracts on the ...

BACKGROUND: It is commonly acknowledged that the most safe and method of choice anesthesia in birds is inhalation anesthesia but in some clinical situations, such as tracheal resection, injectable anesthetic agents are the only choice of surgeons regardless of whether or not an anesthesia machine is available. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the quality of anesthesia and recovery time o...

High antibody titres to Toxoplasma gondii and Chlamydophila psittaci were demonstrated in serum collected from domestic pigeons at average titres of 1:128 and 1:64 respectively. The public health implications of these findings are discussed.

AnsraAcT.-Morphometric studies of Rock Doves and feral pigeons (Columba livia) are enhanced by knowing that variation in size and shape has a well-studied genetic causation in domestic pigeons. Size distributions of skeletal elements of the sexes approximate normality; males are significantly larger than females. Size as measured by principal component I of feral females shows significant inter...
