In order to prepare the skeleton of guinea fowl, first the live guinea fowl is slaughtered in Islamic method, then after cleaning, the bones are boiled in water and the clean bones are put in open weather to be dried. Finally, the clean and dried bones are carried to Anatomy laboratory for preparation, the complete skeleton is installed in small flat wooden board.
