Does 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 کاملOverfeeding and genetics affect the composition of intestinal microbiota in Anas platyrhynchos (Pekin) and Cairina moschata (Muscovy) ducks.
To investigate the effect of overfeeding on the ileal and cecal microbiota of two genotypes of ducks (Pekin and Muscovy), high-throughput 16S rRNA gene-based pyrosequencing was used. The ducks were overfed for 12 days with 58% maize flour and 42% maize grain. Samples were collected before the overfeeding period (at 12 weeks), at 13 weeks, at 14 weeks, and 3 h after feeding. In parallel, ducks f...
متن کاملRestraint 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 کاملEmbryotoxicity of Corexit 9500 in mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos).
Embryotoxicity of the oil dispersant Corexit 9500 was examined using fertilized mallard duck eggs. Corexit 9500 was topically applied below the air cell to eggs in volumes ranging from 0 to 100 μL on day 3 of incubation. The highest incidence of mortality occurred at developmental stage 4, one day post-Corexit 9500 application. Hatching success was significantly decreased among eggs treated wit...
متن کاملCampylobacter populations in wild and domesticated Mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos)
Identifying the Campylobacter genotypes that colonize farmed and wild ducks will help to assess the proportion of human disease that is potentially attributable to the consumption of duck meat and environmental exposure to duck faeces. Comparison of temporally and geographically matched farmed and wild ducks showed that they had different Campylobacter populations in terms of: (i) prevalence, (...
