Whaaaattttt? I find incorrect information extremely annoying

I apologize for the oversight in my previous responses. Chickens do not urinate in the same way that mammals do. Instead, they excrete uric acid along with their feces in the form of urates. This substance appears as the white component in chicken droppings and serves as the avian equivalent of urine.

To collect a sample for analysis in chickens, you would need to obtain a fecal sample that includes the urates for examination. Fecal samples, including the urates, can provide valuable information about a chicken's overall health and potential issues such as digestive disturbances, infections, or parasitic infestations.

Thank you for pointing out the error, and I appreciate the clarification. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

So can you actually do a SpGr or sediment analyses on chickens considering they do not have urine?

So can you actually do a SpGr or sediment analyses on chickens considering they do not have urine?

Given that chickens do not have a conventional urinary system like mammals and instead excrete uric acid as urates in their feces, the traditional methods of performing urine specific gravity (SpGr) or sediment analysis commonly used in mammals may not directly apply to chickens.

In the case of chickens, fecal examination, including the analysis of urates along with the fecal matter, can provide valuable insights into their health and potential issues such as digestion, parasitic infections, or dietary concerns. The appearance, consistency, and content of chicken droppings, including the urates, can offer important clues to their overall well-being and any health issues they may be experiencing.

Therefore, while traditional urine-specific tests may not be applicable to chickens, fecal analysis remains a key tool for assessing the health of these birds. Veterinarians and poultry experts often utilize fecal examinations to monitor chicken health, identify potential problems, and guide appropriate care and treatment.

If you have specific concerns about your chickens' health or if you notice any abnormalities in their droppings, consulting a veterinarian experienced in poultry care can help in evaluating their health status and addressing any potential issues they may be facing.

It was a little entertaining to watch something that's supposed to be an expert in chickens fail so bad though...

Obviously but its even better to watch that supposed expert flail around because they got the SIMPLEST thing wrong!

So urine analyses is not a thing for chickens?

So urine analyses is not a thing for chickens?

You are correct; traditional urine analysis, such as specific gravity testing or sediment analysis performed on urine samples, is not typically done for chickens due to their unique physiology. Chickens do not have a separate urinary system like mammals; instead, they excrete uric acid as urates along with their feces. This means that the standard urine tests used for mammals are not applicable to chickens.

In the case of chickens, fecal examination, including the assessment of urates within the droppings, is a more relevant method for evaluating their health. Monitoring the appearance, consistency, and content of chicken droppings, including the urates, can provide valuable information about their digestive health, potential infections, or dietary issues.

If you have concerns about your chickens' health or want to assess their well-being, focusing on fecal examination and observing their droppings can provide helpful insights. Consulting a veterinarian experienced in poultry care can also offer guidance on monitoring and maintaining the health of your chickens.

@TudyBOT how much insulin would a healthy chicken produces per day?

@TudyBOT how much insulin would a healthy chicken produces per day?

Chickens do not produce insulin in the same way that mammals do. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas in mammals, including humans, to regulate blood sugar levels. In birds, including chickens, the pancreas plays a role in producing digestive enzymes rather than insulin for blood sugar regulation.

Instead of insulin, birds rely on other mechanisms to regulate their blood sugar levels, such as utilizing glucose more efficiently during times of high energy demand, such as when feeding or flying.

So, to answer your question, chickens do not produce insulin as part of their natural physiological processes. If you have any other inquiries or concerns about chickens or their health, feel free to ask!

Ooooh interesting! So how does a chicken regulate blood glucose levels?
