In the framework of a general program to develop the production of the pigeon flesh in Morocco, we carried out in our laboratory a specific study on the bacterial risk contaminations of two local pigeon races called Beldi and Mgandi; in addition to a spanish race named Sevillanos. In fact, as the most poultry species, pigeons are characterized by their small size, an ease in manipulation on the farm and slaughtering, necessitating simpler devices for experiments. The latter has for objectives the genetic selection and the comparison of food systems of farm breeding methods.
The results of the various analysis and the comparison of the averages show an important contamination of the visceral organs by different germs.
This study shows that the local races are characterized by their resistance to colliforms, staphylococcus and streptococus. If the months with high temperature remain a favourable periode for the developpement of the faecal germs, the wintry months, however, are characterized by a high rate of mortality among pigeons.
Besides, the female pigeons remain more exposed to the contaminations by most of the studied germs.
Author Keywords: pigeon, races, contamination, bacteria.

Abstract: (french)
Dans le cadre d'un programme général de développement de la production du pigeon de chair au Maroc, une étude précise a été entrepris sur les risques de contamination bactérienne de deux races locales appelées Beldi et Mgandi et une race espagnole dite sevillanos. En effet, comme la plupart des espèces avicoles, le pigeon est caractérisé par sa petite taille, une grande facilité dans la manipulation pour l'élevage et l'abattage, permettant à l'éleveur de mettre aisément des dispositifs expérimentaux ayant pour objectifs, la sélection génétique, la comparaison des régimes alimentaires ou encore des modes d'élevage du pigeon.
Les résultats des analyses de variance et la comparaison des moyennes montrent une importante contamination des organes viscéraux par les différents germes (les coliformes totaux et fécaux, les streptocoques totaux et fécaux et les staphylocoques)
Si les mois chauds restent évidemment la période favorable au développement des germes fécaux, les mois hivernaux sont des mois de mue des pigeons coïncidant avec une période de mortalité importante.
Par ailleurs les femelles restent les plus exposées aux contaminations par la plupart des germes étudiés. Enfin, Cette étude montre également que les races autochtones se caractérisent par leur forte résistance aux germes étudiés.
Author Keywords: pigeon, races, contamination, bactérie.
