Abstract
In poultry, sacral plexus usually occurs as a result of a combination of ventral branches of 1-5 sacral spinal nerves. The aim of this study is comparatively determination the sacral plexus and its branches of magpie (Pica pica) and chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) and anatomic differences between two species. In the present study, there were used 20 magpies (Pica pica) and 20 chukar partridges (Alectoris chukar). All animals were sacrificed under anesthesia and the nerves forming sacral plexus were separately dissected and photographed in the both species. In the present study, it was determined that forming of sacral plexus and general anatomic distribution of nerves arising from plexus in the both species were similar with other many bird species. However, nerves forming the sacral plexus and their branches were thicker in chukar partridge than magpie.
