Restraint increases afebrile body temperature but attenuates fever in Pekin ducks (Anas platyrhynchos).
In mammals, procedures such as handling, restraint, or exposure to open spaces induces an increase in body temperature (T(b)). The increase in temperature shares some characteristics with pyrogen-induced fever and so is often called "stress fever." Birds also respond to acute handling with a stress fever, which may confound thermoregulatory studies that involve animal restraint. We have measure...
متن کاملDoes access to open water affect the health of Pekin ducks (Anas platyrhynchos)?
Access to open water is considered good for the welfare of Pekin ducks. These studies investigated the effect that the type of water resource, provided over either straw bedding or a rubber mesh, had on measures of duck health. Pekin strain ducklings (n = 2,600) were managed in pens of 100 on straw over a solid concrete floor. In study 1, one of two water resources (nipple, n = 5 pens; wide-lip...

متن کاملHistochemical and Ultrastructural Studies on the thyroid gland of Pati Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) of Assam
A total of 36 ducks were utilised in this study ranging in age from 2 weeks upto 40 weeks of age. For histochemical parameters, the thyroid glands were separated out of the thoracic cavity and the required representative tissue samples were preserved in deep freeze maintained at -80oC. For scanning electron microscopy the tissue samples were processed by SAIF, NEHU, Shillong. The colloid showed...
