Background: Studies have shown that 22.3% of the world’s population use tobacco and nicotine exposure during pregnancy remains a concern in embryonic development. Cigarette smoke contains several toxic and carcinogenic chemicals and has been known to cause pregnancy complications including premature births, low birthweights, and stillbirths. Purpose: This review aims to study nicotine exposure in chicken embryo development comprehensively. Methods: PubMed, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Antpedia sites were used to search for studies using chicken embryos as a model. Studies that reported findings on nicotine's effects on various developmental processes were considered for this review. Conclusion: In total, 55 published articles were included in this review to discuss findings of nicotine-induced alterations during chicken embryo development. Findings have shown that nicotine affects angiogenesis, and embryonic and chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) growth by inhibiting cell proliferation. Nicotine affects brain and cerebellar cortex development by suppressing tumor protein p53 reactions. Nicotine also causes abnormal axial rotation and incomplete formation and closure of neural tubes. The compounds like green tree extract, vitamin C, and folic acid can reduce the effects of nicotine to suppress femur growth, decrease the contractility of cardiomyocytes, and reduce survival rates. These compounds are not protective measures to completely overcome the teratogenic effects of nicotine.

: Pakistan has a varied bird fauna, with over 790 species recorded and their distribution in three zoogeographical zones (Oriental, Palearctic, and Ethiopian), which is exceptional in the world. The data on avian diversity and abundance in the district Okara, Punjab was carried out from January 2022 to January 2023. Data were collected by direct, indirect, and flocks count methods on four transect points used in the study by visiting the field and by interviewing the local people and hunters about the current and past status of the avian fauna of the area. Okara district contains a major wetland for both local and international migratory birds, including falcons, gulls, plovers, snipes, waders
