Применение аллометрических уравнений для вычисления массы поджелудочной железы у японских перепелов

Abstract

Using allometric equations, one can theoretically determine the morphological constants of representatives of the bird class, identify significant differences in the dynamics of these indicators, and determine which parameters do not obey these relationships. The principle of allometry allows, on the one hand, identifying and justifying the general model of the structure and functioning of the animal organism as a whole, and on the other hand, it creates a basis for assessing the quantitative and qualitative deviations of individual bird species from this model. The aim of the study was to determine the weight indicators of the pancreas in Japanese quails in post-incubation ontogenesis and to develop, based on this allometric equation, which links the live body weight and the absolute weight of the pancreas into a single whole. The article discusses the results of experimental studies of the pancreas in Japanese quails, based on which a new original allometric equation is proposed that takes into account the age of the bird. Since knowledge of the morphological features of the digestive system of Japanese quails allows you to purposefully influence their growth and development, the data obtained are necessary for breeding and selecting quails in the right direction to maintain their health and increase productivity.
