Pigeon farming, like chicken and duck farming, is getting popularity nowadays in Bangladesh. The present study was conducted on the postnatal development and morphometry of egg of different breeds of pigeon available at northern Barind tract of Bangladesh. The study was conducted at thirty selected pigeon farms of three districts (Rajshahi, Natore and Pabna) of northern Barind tract of Bangladesh. The postnatal development (weight gain of squabs) of five groups (D0, D7, D14, D21, D28; D=day), and morphometry of eggs (egg weight, egg width (short axis), and length (long axis)) of breeds of pigeon (n=20, each breed) available at northern Barind tract in Bangladesh were collected and analyses with Duncan's Multiple Range test (DMRT). Considerable differences in the postnatal weight gain and egg morphometry were found among breeds of pigeon. The mature body weight of Giribaz, Kormona, Nun and Owl breeds of pigeon were below 300 gm; Satinette, Mookee, Suachandan, Lakkha, Jacobin, Bokhara, Shirajee, Homer and Pouter were 300-500 gm, and King and Strasser were below 800 gm. The postnatal weight of an age group was significantly different (p<0.05) from other age groups of all studied breeds. The highest egg length was 4.37±0.02 cm in Strasser, and the lowest was 3.68±0.01 cm in Giribaz pigeon. The highest egg width was 3.24±0.19 cm in Mookee, and the lowest was 2.73±0.02 cm in Giribug pigeon. The highest egg weight was 21.20±0.49 gm in Strasser, and the lowest was 14.00±0.23 gm in Owl pigeon. Moreover, a relationship between the body weight and egg length, width and weight of pigeons was observed in pigeons of all studied breeds.

To reveal the postnatal development and morphometry of egg of different breeds of pigeon available at northern Barind tract in Bangladesh.

The experiment was conducted at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi from June 2018 to June 2019. Thirty selected pigeon farms of three districts (Rajshahi, Natore and Pabna) of Rajshahi division of Bangladesh have been visited and the different breeds of pigeons were recorded. The pigeons (n=20, each breed) were reared in scavenging conditions and nests were used as a night shelter for protection against predators. Each pair of pigeons was kept in nest separately. The size of each nest was 32 cm × 60 cm × 22 cm. Nest was made strong with iron and was placed at a reasonable height using strong support. The pigeons were offered high-quality diets and water ad libitum with high and low protein level. The nests were cleaned periodically for maintaining good body condition of bird. The pigeons were treated with vaccine and deworming. Body weights were measured with an electronic balance in the morning before the birds were fed. Egg width (short axis), and length (long axis) were measured with slide calipers. Weights of eggs and squabs of five groups (D0, D7, D14, D21, D28; D=day) were measured with an electronic balance. Different record sheets with full details of each parameter were maintained.
Statistical analysis was done the reveal the significant differences of the parameters among the breeds, and different age groups of pigeons. Data was presented as Mean±SE. Duncan's Multiple Range test (DMRT) was performed to observe significant differences between the parameters. All analysis was performed using SPSS software version 20. p<0.05 was considered as significant.

It is possible to improve the breeds of pigeons through selection and other relevant breeding strategies, thereby increasing the productivity of the birds. Considerable differences in the postnatal weight gain and egg morphometry were found among breeds of pigeon. The age around 4 weeks is optimum when meat pigeons should be slaughtered. There is a relationship between the body weight and egg length, width and weight of pigeons of all studied breeds.
