    The present study assessed the changes in socio-economic conditions of small scale broiler farmers in rural areas of Bangladesh. The study on commercial broiler farming were carried out in 10 selected farm in Birampur upazilla under Dinajpur district from 16.07.12-06.09.12.The study was carried out in respect of socioeconomic status of the farmer.Demographic distribution, husbandry and feeding practices, health protection program, cost and return from the flocks are also highlighted. Results shows that the overall broiler farming in Birampur upazilla is profitable where the average weight gain was significantly higher in farm 7, and farm 9 than farm5,1,4,8,2,3,6 and 10. Though all management were followed properly by all farms but performance of farm-9 is better due to feed quality. The best FCR was found in farm-9 (1.7:1). The overall objective of the present study is, however, to estimate and assess the extent of improvement of livelihood of small scale commercial broiler farmers. The study found that farmers always felt threatened to rear broiler due to various problems they faced. Though the possibility of broiler farming was found to be high but facility was found to be very low. The study concludes that if the problems can be removed, farmers would be more encouraged to establish broiler farms on a large scale in all seasons and thereby would be able to imporve their socio-economic condition.

    Macro anatomy of lungs and air sacs of Japanese quail
    (Chattogram Veterinary & Animal |Sciences University, 2013-06) Azam, Sharmin
    This study was conducted to reveal the gross morphological characteristics of the lung and air sacs in Coturnix coturnix japonica (Japanese quails) in anatomy laboratory of CVASU. The sacs of 10 birds were cast by injection of latex via the trachea and it stored in refrigerator for two months. Then it corroded with 30% KOH at 40°C for 24 hours. The lungs were located in the dorsal part of the thorax and very close to the thoracic vertebrae and ribs. Shorter than the dorsal border, the ventral border lied between the 3rd and 6th ribs. Cervical, clavicular, cranial thoracic, caudal thoracic and the abdominal sacs were identified. Cervical sac was located on the left and right portions of the cervical and thoracic vertebrae with a pronounced communication ventromedially. The cervical sac aeration of only cervical vertebrae was present in this study. Humerus was a non aerated bone. Cranial thoracic sac connected to the 1st, 2nd and 4th medioventral bronchi and gave no diverticulum for aeration. Left and right abdominal sacs paramedially produced diverticulum femorale,but this diverticulum did not enter the femur.
