Fatty acid composition of lipid components as a part of recipes of meat products has been investigated. Factors influencing the results of analytical determination of individual fatty acids are shown. The main ratios of fatty acid composition describing fats of sheep, sow, boar, cow, turkey, horse, chicken, pheasant, and wild boar are presented, allowing their use in manufacture of modern meat ...

Loószová A., V. Revajová, M. Levkut, J . Pist l: Pathogenesis of Eimeria colchici in the Intestine of Chickens and the Related Immune Response. Acta Vet. Brno 2001, 70: 191-196. To study the immune response in poultry, a non-specific host for pheasant Eimeria colchici coccidium, ten-day-old chickens were each orally inoculated with 106 oocysts. For determination and comparison of coccidia invas...

A PCR assay was developed for the identification of meats and commercial meat products from quail (Coturnix coturnix), pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), partridge (Alectoris spp.), guinea fowl (Numida meleagris), pigeon (Columba spp.), Eurasian woodcock (Scolopax rusticola), and song thrush (Turdus philomelos) based on oligonucleotide primers targeting specific sequences from the mitochondrial D-...

UNLABELLED Due to their bioaccumulative properties, hydroxylated and methoxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (HO-/MeO-PBDEs) may pose ecological risks to wild life, including birds. However, their toxicity potencies in avian species are largely unknown. In the present study, an avian AHR1 luciferase reporter gene (LRG) assay with luciferase probes from chicken, pheasant and quail was used t...

Introduction: The morphogenic and histogenetic events of an organ and their time sequencing are basic required information to study factors involved in cells differentiation and evaluating the influence of different agents during the critical period of organ formation. The birds are noted as models in experimental embryologic studies, more than other animals. The present study described the mor...
