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 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 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 کاملGadd34 requirement for normal hemoglobin synthesis.
The protein encoded by growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible transcript 34 (Gadd34) is associated with translation initiation regulation following certain stress responses. Through interaction with the protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit (PP1c), Gadd34 recruits PP1c for the removal of an inhibitory phosphate group on the alpha subunit of elongation initiation factor 2, thereby reversing th...
