Endocrinological and behavioural effects of p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) oral administration to broody turkey hens (Meleagris gallopavo).
Changes in plasma levels of prolactin and LH, feed intake, water consumption, behavioural pattern and ovarian activity were recorded after oral administration of PCPA to broody turkey hens. A decrease in prolactin concentration was measured, from day 3, in 3 out of the 5 birds treated with 100 mg PCPA/kg body weight (BW) for 3 consecutive days. In these hens, broodiness was disrupted on day 6 a...
متن کاملEffects of essential oils combination on sporulation of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Eimeria oocysts
Avian coccidiosis is the most important parasitic disease in poultry production, which inflicts numerous losses to the industry. The extensive use of anticoccidial drugs leads to parasite resistance and drug residue in poultry products. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of three famous essential oils (EOs) and their combination on inactivation of mixed oocysts of Eimeria...
متن کاملEight new dinucleotide microsatellite loci in turkey (Meleagris gallopavo).
Source/Description: A phage library was constructed in dephosphorylated BamHI digested M13 from size-selected (220±1000 bp) turkey genomic DNA restricted with MboI. The library was screened with P-labeled (CA)16 and (GT)16 probes. Positive clones were sequenced with an automated DNA sequencer (ABI 373) at the Advanced Genetic Analysis Center, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnes...
متن کاملEffect of Egg Weight on Egg Traits and Hatching Performance of Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Eggs
The study was conducted to determine the effects of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)egg weight on certain egg traits and hatching performance. A total of 178 turkey eggs comprising of three different egg weight groups below 60 g (G I), 61 to 69 g (G II) and above 70 g (G III) were used for this study. Average egg weight (g), egg length (cm), egg breadth (cm) and egg volume (cm3) values increased wi...
متن کاملPrevention of the expression of incubation behaviour using passive immunisation against prolactin in turkey hens (Meleagris gallopavo).
The efficacy of injecting antibodies raised against turkey prolactin to prevent the expression of incubation behaviour has been investigated in turkey hens. Medium white turkey hens (n = 15 x 2) were injected three times weekly for 4 consecutive weeks starting on week 5 of egg production. The hens were injected im with a volume of 1 mL per injection for the 1st week and 0.5 mL thereafter, of no...
