Pulmonary neoplasms produced by methyl-cholanthrene in the white Pekin duck.
Many neoplasms have occurred in the respiratory tract of white Pekin ducks following one intratracheal injection of methylcholanthrene suspended in a 1.0 per cent aqueous solution of polysorbate 80. No tumors occurred when only polysorbate was injected. The histologic type of the tumors varied. Some were neurofibromas, and others were ganglioneuromas, hemangiomas, squamous cell-like carcinomas,...
متن کاملGene expression profiling in Pekin duck embryonic breast muscle
Lean-type Pekin duck is a breed gained through long-term selection and great effort has been exerted to understand the mechanisms underlying increased muscle yields. However, the genes involved in Pekin duck embryonic breast muscle development have not been explored to date. In this study, we investigated gene expression profiles in Pekin Duck embryonic breast muscle at hatched day 13 (E13), E1...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for residual feed intake in a random population of Pekin duck
OBJECTIVE The feed intake (FI) and feed efficiency are economically important traits in ducks. To obtain insight into this economically important trait, we designed an experiment based on the residual feed intake (RFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of a random population Pekin duck. METHODS Two thousand and twenty pedigreed random population Pekin ducks were established from 90 males mated ...
متن کاملProlonged excretion of a low-pathogenicity H5N2 avian influenza virus strain in the Pekin duck
H5N2 strains of low-pathogenicity avian influenza virus (LPAIV) have been circulating for at least 17 years in some Mexican chicken farms. We measured the rate and duration of viral excretion from Pekin ducks that were experimentally inoculated with an H5N2 LPAIV that causes death in embryonated chicken eggs (A/chicken/Mexico/2007). Leghorn chickens were used as susceptible host controls. The d...
متن کاملConditioning to magnetic direction in the Pekin duck (Anas platyrhynchos domestica).
The ability of ducks to derive magnetic direction information was tested in a conditioned procedure and the functional properties of the mechanism of magnetoreception investigated using common manipulations. Twelve ducks were trained to find a hidden imprinting stimulus behind one of three screens in a round arena. Once a criterion was reached, the directional choices of ducks were recorded in ...
