Abstract
The chapter will focus on the ophthalmology of members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), which includes both those that are strictly terrestrial and those that spend time in water. Landfowl (Galliformes) include the brushturkey and scrubfowl (Megapodiidae), the guans and curassows (Cracidae), guineafowl (Numididae), quail (Odontophoridae), and the chickens, turkeys, pheasants, partridges, and grouse (Phasianidae). Waterfowl (Anseriformes) include the screamers (Anhimidae), the magpie goose (Anseranatidae), and the ducks, geese, and swans (Anatidae). The term “poultry” refers to members of the Galloanserae that have potential commercial use for its meat, eggs, offal, feathers, and manure, directly or indirectly entering the human food chain, regardless of the actual use of individual birds of each species. Poultry largely consist of chickens (Gallus gallus), quails (Coturnix coturnix), turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), pheasants (Phasianus colchicus), and ducks (Anas platyrhynchos). The largest part of this chapter is about chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus), a subspecies of the red jungle fowl, a Southeast Asian cousin of pheasants that was domesticated more than 7,000 years ago. Chickens are technically considered domestic animals, although there are places where wild (or feral) chickens are common, such as in Hawaii and parts of the world where jungle fowl are still wild. When these patients are kept as pets and are brought to the veterinarian, usually avian veterinarians will examine them, not poultry or farm animal veterinarians.
