Early access to perches in caged White Leghorn pullets.
Osteoporosis, a progressive decrease in mineralized structural bone, causes 20 to 35% of all mortalities in caged White Leghorn hens. Previous research has focused on manipulating the egg laying environment to improve skeletal health, with little research on the pullet. The objective of the current study was to determine the effect of perch access on pullet health, bone mineralization, muscle d...
متن کاملPSA Environment and Management: Pullets, Hens, and Eggs
Previous research toe clipping day old Leghorn pullets reduced bird hysteria with no impact on feed consumption or BW to 16wk (Ruszler, 1974). Egg production was greater and mortality was reduced compared to control birds. Recently, toe trimming turkeys and broilers with a microwave technology has demonstrated reduced carcass tears and downgrading. Therefore, three Leghorn strains at 1d of age ...
متن کاملEffects of perch access and age on physiological measures of stress in caged White Leghorn pullets.
The neuroendocrine system controls animals' adaptability to their environments by releasing psychotropic compounds such as catecholamines [epinephrine (EP), norepinephrine (NE), and dopamine (DA)], corticosterone (CORT), and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT). Changes of these neuroendocrine compounds have been used as biomarkers of animals' stress responses associated with their well-bein...
متن کاملEffect of genetic selection on growth parameters and tonic immobility in Leghorn pullets.
Four genetic stocks of Leghorn pullets were used to evaluate the effects of genetic selection on growth and fearfulness behavior. Three of the stocks were the Ottawa randombred control stocks from 1950 (CS5), 1959 (CS7), and 1972 (CS10). The fourth stock was a 1993 commercial laying stock (CCS) whose ancestors were involved in the formation of the randombred control stocks. Pullets were reared ...
متن کاملThe Exceptionally Large Debris Disk around Γ Ophiuchi
Spitzer images resolve the debris disk around γ Ophiuchi at both 24 and 70 μm. The resolved images suggest a disk radius of ∼520 AU at 70 μm and &260 AU at 24 μm. The images, along with a consistent fit to the spectral energy distribution of the disk from 20 to 350 μm, show that the primary disk structure is inclined by ∼50 from the plane of the sky at a position angle of 55±2. Among a group of...
