The influence of temperature on egg composition in the grey partridge Perdix perdix
Variations in egg size and composition can have important consequences for the quality of offspring. We investigated the effect of temperature, in the 5 days preceding laying, on yolk, albumen, shell and total egg mass. Moreover, we examined the influence of temperature on three important egg components, i.e. the yolk carotenoids and the albumen lysozyme and avidin. In our experimental conditio...
متن کاملLinker histone H1.b is polymorphic in grey partridge (Perdix perdix).
This study was aimed at characterizing allelic variations of erythrocyte histone H1.b by comparing the electrophoretic patterns of histone H1.b from individuals of grey partridge (Perdix perdix) population. As two alloforms, H1.b1 and H1.b2, were discerned in the screening gels, the histone H1.b was regarded to be a polymorphic protein encoded by a gene with two codominant alleles, b1 and b2, a...
متن کاملMycoplasma gallisepticum infection in the grey partridge Perdix perdix: outbreak description, histopathology, biochemistry and antioxidant parameters
BACKGROUND The grey partridge is an important game bird in Europe that has declined considerably over the last decades. The production and release of farm-bred birds can be threatened by infectious agents. The objective of this study was to describe the outbreak, pathology, and blood and tissue biochemical responses in a flock of grey partridges naturally infected with Mycoplasma gallisepticum....
متن کاملMHC Class IIB Exon 2 Polymorphism in the Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix) Is Shaped by Selection, Recombination and Gene Conversion
Among bird species, the most studied major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the chicken MHC. Although the number of studies on MHC in free-ranging species is increasing, the knowledge on MHC variation in species closely related to chicken is required to understand the peculiarities of bird MHC evolution. Here we describe the variation of MHC class IIB (MHCIIB) exon 2 in a population of the G...
متن کاملEffects of beta-carotene supplementation on chick growth, immune status and behaviour in the grey partridge, Perdix perdix.
Carotenoids are important for various functions during chick development. Since these pigments cannot be synthesized, they can be considered limited resources that the mother optimally allocates between herself and her offspring (maternal effect). Some studies have examined the effects of carotenoids on growth and immune function but little is known about their role in behaviour. In this study ...
