The effects of alfalfa-based molt diets on skeletal integrity of white leghorns.
Sixty White Leghorn hens were assigned to 1 of 6 treatments: pretrial control (PC), full fed (FF), 9-d feed withdrawal (FW), 90% alfalfa-10% layer ration (A90), 80% alfalfa-20% layer ration (A80), and 70% alfalfa/30% layer ration (A70). For the PC, hens were killed and bones collected immediately before light restriction. The FF hens were also subjected to light restriction. After hens were fas...
متن کاملEvaluation of different egg quality traits and interpretation of their mode of inheritance in White Leghorns.
AIM The experiment was carried out to evaluate different external and internal egg quality traits and to figure out their mode of inheritance from a set of hierarchically classified data. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data collected from 548 progenies (1 egg from each progeny) of 282 dams mated to 47 sires (1 sire mated to 6 dams) of a White Leghorn flock were used in the present study. Phenotypi...
متن کاملGenomic Variation between Genetic Lines of White Leghorns Differed in Resistance to Marek’s Disease
Genetic resistance to avian tumor virus-induced tumorigenesis and vaccine protective efficacy preventing such tumorigenicity are determined by multiple factors including host genetics, viral virulence, dose of challenge viruses, type of vaccine, vaccine dosage, and interval between vaccination and viral exposure time. Studies on human immune response to vaccination suggest host genetic variabil...
متن کاملThe effect of an induced molt and a second cycle of lay on skeletal integrity of White Leghorns.
The effect of an induced molt and a second egg laying cycle on White Leghorns hen's skeletal integrity was investigated in a series of 3 experiments. Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) of the left tibia and humerus were measured in live hens and excised bones and correlated with invasive bone measurement tests, egg traits, and the i...
متن کاملBone mineral density and breaking strength of White Leghorns housed in conventional, modified, and commercially available colony battery cages.
Limited opportunity for movement and load-bearing exercise for conventionally caged laying hens leads to bone loss and increased susceptibility to osteoporosis, bone fractures, and cage layer fatigue, all of which compromise hen welfare and have negative consequences for production. The objective of this study was to compare bone mineral density (BMD) and strength measures of White Leghorns hou...
