The Histopathology of Nutritional Encephalomalacia of Chicks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Whatever may be the nature of the nutritive error or deficiency which in chicks is responsible for encephalomalacia, the immediate cause must be looked for in some agent or condition which impairs the capillary circulation of the brain. The essential lesion is an ischemic necrosis, followed, if the animal survive, by reparative organization of the dead tissue.

Nutritional Encephalomalacia in Chicks
1. Nutritional encephalomalacia may be induced in chicks up to the age of approximately 2 months. As the preliminary feeding period on a natural foods diet is increased, the percentage incidence of the disease becomes progressively less. The average time between institution of diet and appearance of the disease tends to diminish. 2. There is no correlation between growth and incidence of the di...
متن کاملRelationship between Vitamin E and Encephalomalacia in Chicks.
Encephalomalacia is readily produced in chicks by vitamin E-deficient diets containing polyunsaturated fatty acids of the linoleic acid series or their esters (Dam, Nielsen, Prange & Sendergaard, 1958; Century, Honvitt & Bailey, 1959; Machlin & Gordon, 1960). The vitamin is believed to protect against the development of the disease by acting as an antioxidant in vivo, i.e. by preventing the per...

متن کاملThe adrenocortical response of tufted puffin chicks to nutritional deficits.
In several seabirds, nutritional state of a nest-bound chick is negatively correlated with the activity of its hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Increased corticosterone (cort) secretion has been shown to facilitate changes in behavior that allow hungry chicks to obtain more food from parents. However, if parents are not willing/able to buffer their young from temporary food shortages,...
