ABSTRACT

In the meat group of pigeons, white carneau is responsible to heart-related disease atherosclerosis. Adequate published and online data on carneau pigeons (Plate 1) and show racer homer pigeons (Plate 2) explained this cardiac incident. Results suggested that both male and female white carneau pigeons from 1 to 13 years of age (3-4 years are vulnerable) exhibited atherosclerosis which is similar to human, so this bird can be a model to do more studies for human welfare. Highly rich feed at the time of intensive rearing and their age could lead this heart-related problem.
