The study examined the factors influencing yearly consumption of turkey meat in Mymensingh city area. Data were collected from 60 consumers through Purposive sampling technique and face to interview. Dummy coding was applied code independent variables which categorical nature multiple linear regression carried out find meat. Result indicated that majority (more than 50%) favored taste, color ar...

Sato, Katsushige and Yoko Momose-Sato. Optical mapping reveals developmental dynamics of Mg -/APV-sensitive components of glossopharyngeal glutamatergic EPSPs in the embryonic chick NTS. J Neurophysiol 92: 2538–2547, 2004. First published June 2, 2004; 10.1152/jn.00372.2004. To examine whether there are any differences in functional organization between the glossopharyngeal nerve (N. IX)– and v...

   Background: In this feasibility study, a mechanically loaded in-vitro tissue culture model of joint morphogenesis using the isolated lower extremity of the 8 day old chick embryo was developed to assess the effects of mechanical loading on joint morphogenesis. Methods: The developed in-vitro system allows controlled flexion and extension of the chick embryonic knee with a range of motion of ...

ruminal bacteria and protozoa provide excellent organic phosphorus (p) sources for the host animal. this experiment was conducted to compare the bioavailability of bacterial and protozoal p in comparison with that of dicalcium phosphate (dcp) as a reference phosphorus source. bacteria and protozoa were isolated from the rumen contents of dairy cows and the chick-model was used to determine the ...

Nutritional and environmental conditions influence broiler flock performance. Besides these factors, other less-well-understood factors, such as incubating egg characteristics, affect the embryonic life of chicks. This study demonstrated that egg storage depressed egg albumen Haugh units (HU) and chick quality; these effects of storage were greater in egg and chicks from old breeders. Absolute ...

We have prepared a high buoyant density proteoglycan fraction from the vitreous humor of 13-day-old chick embryos. Using immunoblot analysis coupled with chondroitinase digestion, we demonstrate that the purified preparation is composed predominantly of type IX collagen-like chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan with an alpha 1(IX) chain Mr approximately 23,000 shorter than the known alpha 1 in cart...

The mechanism of induction of micromelia in 6-day-old chick embryo by 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN) was investigated. Six-day-old chick embryo exposed to 6-AN did not show micromelia when tenfold excess of nicotinamide over 6-AN was co-administered. The ability of nicotinamide to prevent the induction of micromelia was partially offset after 4 hr of exposure to 6-AN and completely disappeared afte...

It has been shown previously that the immediate-early genes, c-fos and c-jun mRNA are induced in the 1-day-old chick forebrain after one-trial passive avoidance training in which chicks learn to avoid pecking at a bitter-tasting bead. Here, we have studied the expression of their proteins using antibodies to Fos and Jun. Western blotting disclosed two immunoreactive bands for the anti-Fos antib...

We study the 2-D Helmholtz equation in perturbed stratified media, allowing the existence of guided waves. Our assumptions on the perturbing and source terms are not too restrictive. We prove two results. Firstly, we introduce a Sommerfeld-Rellich radiation condition and prove the uniqueness of the solution for the studied equation. Then, by careful asymptotic estimates, we prove the existence ...
