Phosphorus Partition in the Blood Serum of Laying Hens*
Much work has been done during recent years in investigating the calcium partition in the blood of laying hens. From this work an attempt has been made to determine the nature of the non-diffusible calcium. Although Laskowski (1) and Benjamin and Hess (2) investigated the partition of inorganic phosphorus in connection with the study of calcium in the serum of the laying hen, little has been do...
متن کاملCampylobacter species occurrence within internal organs and tissues of commercial caged Leghorn laying hens.
Campylobacter spp. are frequently present in the intestinal tract and internal tissues of broiler breeder and broiler chickens. Campylobacter spp. ecology in commercial Leghorn laying hens has not been extensively studied. The objectives of the current study were to determine 1) Campylobacter spp. presence in the reproductive tract, lymphoid organs, liver-gallbladder, and ceca of commercial Leg...
متن کاملClose human presence reduces avoidance behaviour in commercial caged laying hens to an approaching human
The quality of human contact that hens are exposed to will determine the degree of fear of humans that they experience. This has consequences for the welfare of commercial laying hens, as hens that are afraid of humans will be regularly exposed to a fear-provoking stressor. Hens can be habituated to human presence using positive or neutral human–animal interactions, although the specific human ...
متن کاملYolk and albumen corticosterone concentrations in eggs laid by white versus brown caged laying hens.
Maternal stress in birds can have permanent transgenerational effects through the transmission of stress hormones to offspring via the egg yolk. Previous studies have shown that White Leghorn hens show a heightened response to stress compared with Hy-Line Brown hens, producing significantly more corticosterone and displaying longer bouts of tonic immobility after handling, whereas baseline leve...
متن کاملEffect of dietary available phosphorus and phytase on production performance of old laying hens and tibia bone quality
Background: Old laying hens are more prone to dietary calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) deficiencies as they absorb Ca and P less efficiently than younger hens. OBJECTIVES: In a 2×2 factorial design, the influence of diets with two levels of available phosphorus (AP) and phytase enzyme on the laying performance, egg quality and tibia bone characteristics of laying hens at their late 2nd producti...
