A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Salmonella gallinarum endotoxin on clinical symptoms and some haematological changes in mature six-month-old cockerels. Salmonella gallinarum endotoxin caused characteristic clinical symptoms, severe olygocytic hypochromic anaemia, leucocytosis and increased phagocytic function of leucocytes. Heterophilia was associated with relative lyphopeni...

N 1938 from matings of polydactylous fowl we found newly-hatched I chicks which had an abnormally short upper beak. In some of these chicks the beak gradually became normal, while others developed a crossbeak. The latter type has been referred to in an earlier publication (LANDAUER 1938, Postscript) as probably representing a new hereditary form of cross-beak in fowl. Further studies with this ...

This is the first time that gait characteristics of broiler (meat) chickens have been compared with their progenitor, jungle fowl, and the first kinematic study to report a link between broiler gait parameters and defined lameness scores. A commercial motion-capturing system recorded three-dimensional temporospatial information during walking. The hypothesis was that the gait characteristics of...

(Continued from page 31) this pathological cycle is to raise the blood oestrogen level to that stage at which the corpus luteum regresses. This can be done by injecting 25 mg. of stilboestrol dipropionate and potentiating the uterus into rhythmic contractions by injecting posterior lobe pituitary. A similar treatment may be used in case of pyometra. (Brownlee, G. (Wellcome Physiol. Res. Lab., B...
