Metabolism of dehydroretinyl ester in White Leghorn chicks.
1. The metabolism of dehydroretinyl ester has been studied in vitamin-A-deficient white leghorn chicks. Dehydroretinyl ester was metabolized to 3-hydroxyretinol diester, 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol and rehydrovitamin A2 which were isolated from the intestines and livers of chicks. 2. The metabolism of 3-hydroxyretinol diester and 3-hydroxyanhydroretinol, which were immediate metabolites of dehydror...
متن کاملOrigin of Anti-human Blood Group B Agglutinins in White Leghorn Chicks
While anti-human blood group B agglutinins are present in the majority of ordinary White Leghorn chicks by the age of 30 days, none could be demonstrated in germfree chicks up to the age of 60 days. Anti-B agglutinins in trace amounts were first found in germfree chicks 66 days old and increased to an average titer of about 1:2 by 91 days of age. This titer amounts to about 10 per cent of that ...
متن کاملBody Weight and Food Intake of Broiler and Leghorn Chicks
Age of market weight of broilers has been continuously reduced by approximately one day per generation during the past 40 50 years due to an average increase of 50 g/year of body weight at 42 days of age (Gyles, 1989). Although non-genetic factors such as improved feeding and management contributed to this growth rate increase, genotypic selection for growth seems to be the major cause (Chamber...
متن کاملRelationship between body weight and beak characteristics in one-day-old white Leghorn chicks: its implications for beak trimming.
Beak trimming is a routine practice used in laying hens to prevent feather pecking and cannibalism. The effect of beak trimming on bird well-being depends on multiple factors, including the amount of beak that is trimmed and the quality of the procedure. The aim of this work was to determine if a relationship existed between BW and beak characteristics in 1-d-old chicks, with a future aim to de...
متن کاملModeling ovarian follicle growth in commercial and heritage Single Comb White Leghorn hens.
Approximately 84% of the energy in chicken eggs resides in the yolk. A robust model of ovarian follicle development is therefore valuable for estimating energy requirements of laying hens. The current experiment was designed to model the growth of ovarian follicles in 32-wk-old modern commercial line (CL) and unselected heritage line (HL) Single Comb White Leghorn hens. The volume of yolk depos...
