Morphological and histopathological study of Air Sacs (Sacci pneumatic) in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
This study aimed to investigate the anatomical and histological features of air sacs in Japanese quail. Twenty healthy birds from Japanese quail (10 Males and 10 Females) were obtained for routine anatomical and histological study, 2 ml of 10% chloral hydrate was injected directly into the heart and...
