Acetaminophen is a non-steroidal drug used as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic in humans animals. In chicks, neurotoxicity associated with acetaminophen has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to identify the neurobehavioral, biochemical histopathological effects 7 day-old broiler chicks. acute LD50 estimated by up- and- down method, then influence on open field ...

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 ...

The kappa-opioid system (KOP) is the key in drug abuse. Of all compounds isolated from Salvia divinorum (S. divinorum), salvinorin-A (Sal-A) predominant. Further, Sal-A only compound within S. which reported to have psychoactive properties as a powerful receptor (KOPr) agonist. Based on role of KOP consumption drugs, extract (SDE) and may modify alcohol intake Wistar rats. Assessing voluntary c...

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of range and confinement rearing on behavior and tonic immobility of four genetic lines of turkeys. Lines of turkeys utilized were selected for increased body weight, or increased shank diameter, or were randombred control lines developed in 1966 and 1986. Birds from the four lines were brooded lines and sexes intermingled to 8 wk of age in co...

The present study was undertaken to examine the acute toxicity (LD50) and neurobehavioral manifestations in the open-field activity and tonic immobility tests in 7-14 day-old chicks treated with the H1-receptor antagonist diphenhydramine. Plasma and whole brain cholinesterase activities were also determined in the chicks. The LD50 of diphenhydramine in chicks was 49.3 mg/kg, intramuscularly (i....
