Dhamotharan3 Department of Veterinary Anatomy Madras Veterinary College Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT The pelvic girdle of Chinese goose was a large, elongated bone, narrow cranially (3.0 cm) and wide (8.0 cm) caudally. It consisted of two os coxae, each of which was made up of an ilium, an ischium and a pubis. The ilium of the Chinese goose was the largest and longest (14 cm) bone of the os coxae. The pre-acetabular part of the ilium was 6.80 cm long and 2.0 cm wide. The post-acetabular part of ilium was 7.2 cm long. The ilioneural canal was slightly broad in front and narrow caudally.The pelvic surface of ilium showed six openings on either side of the bodies of the lumbosacral mass. The ischiatic foramen was 3.60 cm long and 1.20 cm wide. The ischium was triangular in shape and 7.50 cm long. The caudal border of the pelvis was wide (7.50 cm) and showed a deep notch. The pubis was long (12.0cm), thin, bent rod-like bone, projected well beyond the caudal border of the os coxae and bent medially. The pectineal process was short and rounded. Pneumatic foramina were absent in the os coxae of the Chinese goose. The acetabulum was large and formed by all the three bones. The anti-trochanter was quadrilateral in shape and prominent. Key words: os coxae, pelvic girdle, ilium, ischium, pubis INTRODUCTION pure white plumage, and bright orange feet, knobs and bills. Sexes are similar but The Chinese geese are the most the males have larger knob at base of bill graceful and beautiful member of the goose (Holderread, 1981). The pelvic girdle of family and referred to as ‘swan geese’ or the birds is related to their bipedal standing ‘weeder geese’. They are identified by posture because their hind limbs are only the knob at the base of its beak. There are structure for support and walking. Hence, two varieties of Chinese geese, brown and they require a solid connection between white. The white variety has blue eyes, the pelvis and the vertebral column but * Corresponding author, Email: [email protected] also maximum area for the insertion of the 1 Professor muscles which bear the bulk of the body 2Professor, Directorate of Research, Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chennai - 51 weight.
