Uterine adenocarcinoma with transcoelomic metastases in breeder hens (Gallus domesticus).
Hens involved in a Newcastle disease study were euthanased at regular intervals according to a designed protocol. Of these, 7.14 % (n = 42) of the 82-week-old specific pathogen-free breeder hens were found to have well-delineated firm white to yellowish nodules of varying sizes in the abdominal cavity. Histologically, the nodules were identified as an adenocarcinoma originating in the uterus. T...
متن کاملClinical communication — Kliniese mededeling Uterine adenocarcinoma with transcoelomic metastases in breeder hens (Gallus domesticus)
INTRODUCTION Tumours in commercial poultry are mostly caused by infection with avian herpes, leukosis and retroviruses and thus most studies on avian tumours have been focused on those with viral aetiology, probably due to their economic importance and also because they serve as a model for human cancer studies. Adenocarcinomas in poultry are among the groups of tumours of unknown aetiology, an...
متن کاملEarly Life in a Barren Environment Adversely Affects Spatial Cognition in Laying Hens (Gallus gallus domesticus)
Spatial cognition in vertebrates is adversely affected by a lack of environmental complexity during early life. However, to our knowledge, no previous studies have tested the effect of early exposure to varying degrees of environmental complexity on specific components of spatial cognition in chickens. There are two main rearing systems for laying hens in the EU: aviaries and cages. These two s...
متن کاملDivergent selection on feather pecking behaviour in laying hens (Gallus gallus domesticus).
A selection experiment was initiated in 1996 in which selection for (HP line) and against (LP line) feather pecking was performed. The foundation stock was a White Leghorn layer strain established in 1970 and maintained since then as a random bred control line at the Institute. Six hatches were produced over three generations. At the age of 68 weeks (generation 0, 1996), 35 weeks (generation 1,...
متن کاملUsing electroretinograms to assess flicker fusion frequency in domestic hens Gallus gallus domesticus
The assessment of flicker fusion frequency (FFF), the stimulus frequency at which a flickering light stimulus can no longer be resolved and appears continuous, and critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF; the highest frequency at any light intensity that an observer can resolve flicker) are useful methods for comparing temporal resolution capabilities between animals. Behavioural experiments hav...
