Sodium Requirement of the Chick
Abstract INTRODUCTION A PART from the work of McWard and Scott (1961), there has been very little work published during the past 15 years on the sodium requirement of the young chick. There have, however, been studies to determine the sodium requirements of turkeys (Kumpost and Sullivan, 1966) and of pheasants and quail (Scott et al., 1960). McWard

Recently, we showed that oral administration of crystallized L-citrulline (L-Cit) caused hypothermia under a control thermoneutral temperature (CT) and provided thermotolerance under high ambient temperature (HT) in chicks.

Peripheral Injection of Chicken Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone Inhibits Feeding Behavior in Chicks
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), a stimulator of growth hormone (GH) secretion, is known to have several physiological roles such as the regulation of feeding behavior in mammals. Recently, we have reported that central injection of chicken GHRH

The effect of static incubation on the yolk sac vasculature of the Japanese quail (Coturnix c. japonica) [PDF]
Static incubation affects early embryonic development with, notably, a reduction area vasculosa expansion and diminished sub-embryonic fluid (SEF) volume, effects produced during a ‘critical’ period (3-7 days in the chick) (Baggott et al., 2002).

: Transport stress (TS) not only weakens poultry performance but also affects animal welfare. Additionally, TS can evoke cardiac damage by triggering sterile inflammation in chicks, but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood.

Intracerebroventricular Injection of Ghrelin Induces Sleep-Like Behavior in Neonatal Chicks
Ghrelin, a novel growth hormone (GH)-releasing acylated peptide, is recently isolated from rat stomach. This peptide stimulates the release of GH from the anterior pituitary through the GH secretagogue receptor and feeding in the rat.
