Comparative gonadotrophic potency of anterior pituitaries from cocks, laying hens and non-laying hens in molt.
A bulk of studies on the assay of gonadotrophic hormone content of the anterior pituitary from the animals in various reproductive conditions has been done. Riley and Fraps(1942b) assayed pituitary glands from chickens in various reproductive stages, judging the gonadotrophic potency by the increment of uterine weights of immature mice, and concluded that glands from non-laying hens produced a ...
متن کاملNon-invasive Corticosterone Monitoring in Laying Hens with Different Egg Production Rate
The process of egg production has to be regarded as severe metabolic stress to the hen. Elevated corticosterone concentrations have been described to precede oviposition for one to two hours, but may be masked by the diurnal changes in levels of glucocorticosteroids (corticosterone, cortisol). Increased corticoid levels were discussed either to be involved in the local induction of the process ...

متن کاملAmino Acid Recommendations for laying hens
During recent decades productivity of laying hens increased substantially (Elliot, 2008). Not only egg number, egg mass, and feed conversion has increased but also persistency of lay has improved. As such, this must have implications on the optimal amino acid nutrition of current laying hen strains. Simply stated, increasing egg mass output per hen means an increased amino acid output which has...
متن کاملMinimally-Invasive Assessments of the Behavioural and Physiological Effects of Enriched Colony Cages on Laying Hens
The well-being of laying hens in cages of 5, 10, 20 and 40-birds/cage, and enrichment with perches, nest boxes and scratch pads, was assessed using behavioral and physiological parameters. Laying hens were Lohmann Brown (n = 360) and White Leghorns (n = 360), housed from 17 to 65 weeks of age. Behavioral parameters were; the percentage of birds per cage roosting on perches, claw length (n = 288...
