Semen quality is a crucial factor for predicting fertility and hatchability in several avian species including pigeons. To evaluate pigeon semen quality, prior dilution of semen was required due to its small volume with highly concentrated spermatozoa. Conventional crystalloid solutions—Normal saline (NSS) and Ringer’s solution (LRS) are common diluents for such a task; however, the unoptimized dilution rate of such diluents was a major cause contributing to inaccurate semen quality evaluation. Due to the lack of such knowledge in pigeons this study aimed to optimize the dilution rate of Normal saline (NSS) and Ringer’s solution (LRS) for pigeon semen quality …

The pharmacokinetic properties of enrofloxacin were investigated after a single intra-muscular (i.m.) and oral administration of 10 mg/kg b.w. to 12 healthy adult pigeons. Twelve pigeons were randomly divided to two groups. Blood samples were collected at different time points following drug administration. Plasma enrofloxacin concentrations were determined by reverse-phase high-performanceliquidchromatography. Pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted using non-compartmental methods via the ncappc package in R. The mean concentration area under curve (AUClast) for enrofloxacin was determined to be 21.75±5.67 μg·h/mL for i.m., administration and 17.30±4.94μg·h/mL for oral administration. The elimination half-life (T1/2λz) was 9.51±5.72 and 6.87±1.81 h for the i.m., and …
