“…Exactly because of clumping, thrombocytes counts are not routinely performed in avian hematology and reference values are scarce. Interval of thrombocytes obtained in this study is in agreement with the values described in other studies, but it is important to note that number of these cells varied greatly among individuals, with values that range from 10 to 132 x 10 3 mm -1 (STURKIE & GRIMINGER, 1986;HARRISON, 2008;). According to STURKIE & GRIMINGER (1986), the number of thrombocytes of different avian species range from 20 to 30 x 10 3 /mm³, and it is approximately the same as the number of total leukocytes.…”

“…This pattern was described as acceptable for psittacines by NAVARRO & PACHALY (1994). However, in the majority of species, percentage of lymphocytes is higher than any other types of leukocytes, with values ranging between 40-70% of the total, and heterophils being the second highest group (STURKIE & GRIMINGER, 1986).…”

“…One possible explanation for this was relative dehydration within the Bireçik birds, however, both groups of birds had ad libitum access to water and Bireç ik had a higher rainfall than Jersey during February 1992. Alternatively, higher altitudes with a reduced oxygen tension can lead to an increased production and release of erythropoietin, which stimulates erythropoiesis and results in an increased PCV, hemoglobin, and red blood count (Jain, 1993;Sturkie and Griminger, 1986). However, since Bireç ik was only 250 m higher than Jersey, we felt that this difference in altitude was not significant.…”

“…The development of the crop is a key feature of fatty liver production systems, especially in goose species in which the crop is not a truly differentiated organ (Sturkie, 1986), but rather an extension of the oesophagus in the form of a pocket produced especially under the effect of the diet. The objective of the experiment was to study the effect of a 10% incorporation of SBP in the finisher diet on hydration capacity of the diet and body development including crop volume and performance of geese during finishing and overfeeding periods.…”

The aim of this work was to study the effects of incorporating sugar beet pulp (SBP) into the diet on the development of the crop and performance of geese. A total of 480 1-day-old ganders were divided into three groups differing in the composition and mode of distribution of the diet offered from day 56 to 89. The following two diets were used: a standard diet (nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy, AMEn 11.44 MJ/kg; 160 g/kg CP) or a diet containing 10% of SBP (SBP diet; AMEn 11.47 MJ/kg; 160 g/kg CP). The swelling capacity (SC) hydration was higher for SBP than for the standard diet (3.62 v. 2.72 ml of H2O/g of dry matter at 60 min; P<0.05). In the Control group, birds were fed with a controlled time of access to a standard diet. Other birds were fed the SBP diet with a controlled time of access (SBPt group) or a controlled quantity offered (SBPq). From day 90 to 104, 88 birds/group were overfed with a mixture containing mainly corn. Body traits including volume of the crop were measured at day 89. Fatty liver weight and commercial grading were measured at d 104. Feed intake from day 56 to 89 was higher in the Control group than in the SBPt group (8097 v. 7545 g; P<0.05), feed intake in the SBPq group being intermediate (7801 g); however, live weights (LW) of the birds were similar in the three groups measured at day 89 (5746 g; P>0.05). At day 89, the volume of the crop tended to be higher in the SBPt compared with the Control group (52.8 v. 48.8 ml/kg of LW; P=0.101). After overfeeding, feed intake (12 922 g), weight gain (2412 g), LW (8170 g), fatty liver weight (875 g) and commercial grading of the fatty liver were similar (P>0.1) for all the three groups. Therefore, SBP could help adapt the digestive tract of waterfowl to high feed intake through an increase in the crop volume, but its method of use – that is, level of incorporation and mode of distribution – should continue to be investigated.
