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 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 کاملMineralization of Manure Nutrients
In order to apply manure or compost to fulfill the nutrient requirements of a crop, knowledge of the amount of nutrients mineralized following application is needed. Nutrient mineralization from applied manure depends on temperature, soil moisture, soil properties, manure characteristics, and microbial activity. Since these factors cannot be accurately predicted, nutrient mineralization from ap...
متن کاملMain causes of mortality in growth farms of commercial pullets of the bovans white line
The rearing system of replacement pullets in Mexico is traditionally done on the floor due to its higher performance and resemblance to natural conditions to minimize stress compared to cage rearing.1 However, the type of housing as other management factors (vaccination, weighing, and beak trimming) that is done in the field during the growth phase are important factors to consider in the amoun...
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...
