Developmental stability in stocks of White Leghorn chickens.
The degree of asymmetry in bilateral morphological characters may reflect genetic and environmental stressors. Shank length and diameter, weight and length of the first primary wing feather, and distance between the junction of upper and lower mandibles and auditory canal (face length) were used to classify bilateral types and measure relative asymmetry (RA) in six genetic stocks. The stocks we...
متن کاملTissue tropism and bursal transformation ability of subgroup J avian leukosis virus in White Leghorn chickens.
In Experiment 1, a monoclonal antibody against the envelope glycoprotein (gp85) of subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J) was used to study the distribution of ALV-J in various tissues of White Leghorn chickens inoculated as embryos with the strain ADOL-Hcl of ALV-J. At 2 and 6 wk of age, various tissues from infected and control uninfected chickens were tested for the presence of ALV-J gp85 b...
متن کاملBone-Remodeling Transcript Levels Are Independent of Perching in End-of-Lay White Leghorn Chickens
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that commonly results in a 30% incidence of fracture in hens used to produce eggs for human consumption. One of the causes of osteoporosis is the lack of mechanical strain placed on weight-bearing bones. In conventionally-caged hens, there is inadequate space for chickens to exercise and induce mechanical strain on their bones. One approach is to encourage mechani...
متن کاملPurification of chicken carbonic anhydrase isozyme-III (CA-III) and its measurement in White Leghorn chickens
BACKGROUND The developmental profile of chicken carbonic anhydrase-III (CA-III) blood levels has not been previously determined or reported. We isolated CA-III from chicken muscle and investigated age-related changes in the levels of CA-III in blood. METHODS CA-III was purified from chicken muscle. The levels of CA-III in plasma and erythrocytes from 278 female chickens (aged 1-93 weeks) and ...
متن کاملChromosomal localization of three endogenous retrovirus loci associated with virus production in White Leghorn chickens.
Proposed mechanisms for the generation of endogenous retrovirus loci have been examined by determining the chromosomal distribution of these loci by means of in situ hybridization. Unlike the clustering on chromosome 1 of five endogenous retrovirus loci associated with the gs- chf- phenotype A. Tereba and S. M. Astrin, submitted for publication), three loci associated with endogenous retrovirus...
