Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the macroanatomy and morphometric of the tongue of theguinea fowl. Six chicks (6-7 weeks), six layer hens (9-13 weeks) and six studs guinea fowl wereused to study and determine the anatomical features of the tongue of the guinea fowl. Papillae of thetongue were examined photos of the general anatomic structures were taken. Morphometry wascalculated by statistical analysis. The tongue was triangular shaped, and consisted of apex, corpus,and radix sections. The papillae linguales caudales were on both sides of the corpus and radixlinguae. Conical papillae were found to be sequentially V shaped at the radix. Thus, in this study,the anatomy and morphometric of the tongue of the guinea fowl tongue were examined in detailsand the similarities and differences between the tongue of the guinea fowl and the tongue of other poultry species were investigated.
