This study was conducted to assess the influence of dietary CP and ME on growth parameters of the French guinea fowl, a meat-type variety. In a 2 x 3 x 3 factorial arrangement, 297 one-day-old French guinea keets (162 females and 135 males) were randomly assigned to experimental diets comprising 3,050, 3,100, and 3,150 kcal of ME/kg, each containing 21, 23, and 25% CP from hatch to 4 wk of age ...

We developed a guinea fowl jumping robot with one-axis momentum wheel mechanism passive hallux model. The Guinea was able to perform stable vertical due the linkage structure designed as Furthermore, we used in for making compact balance control that can body angle of robot. Through experiment, conventional uses inertial tail adjust air landing and jumping. However, case an tail, it has large v...

Backyard poultry farms infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus in Nigeria between 2006 and 2008 were investigated for morbidity, mortality and Pathology. Affected farms raised local chickens, duck, turkey, guinea fowl and geese and were already confirmed to be infected with HPAI virus by virus isolation and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction at the Nationa...
