Scoliosis in chickens

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1977
Scoliosis developed in 55 per cent of sexually mature birds (68 per cent of male and 46 per cent of female birds) in a highly inbred line of chickens originally produced from white Leghorns. The curve could first be detected at five to six weeks of age and progressed until spontaneous fusion of the thoracic vertebrae occurred. Studies of these chickens

Aphagia in Chickens

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1957
Aphagic chickens have been produced with electrolytic lesions placed stereotaxically in the diencephalon. These chickens were maintained by introducing food into their crops through a tube. They were inactive and lost much of the ‘nervous’ temperament of White Leghorn chickens.

The Chicken Genome

2006
The chicken has long been an important model organism for developmental biology, as well as a major source of protein with billions of birds used in meat and egg production each year. Chicken genomics has been transformed in recent years, with the characterisation of large EST collections and most recently with the assembly of the chicken genome ...

The Autopsy of Chicken Nuggets Reads “Chicken Little”

The American Journal of Medicine, 2013
To determine the contents of chicken nuggets from 2 national food chains.Chicken nuggets have become a major component of the American diet. We sought to determine the current composition of this highly processed food.Randomly selected nuggets from 2 different national fast food chains were fixed in formalin, sectioned and stained for microscopic ...

Pathogenicity of chicken anaemia agent in bursectomised chickens

Avian Pathology, 1988
Bursectomised (Bx) chickens, but not intact chickens, developed anaemia when inoculated with chicken anaemia agent (CAA) at 2 weeks of age. No antibodies against CAA were produced in the Bx chickens and CAA was persistently recovered from them. In contrast, CAA disappeared from the intact chickens with the development of high titres of antibody. It was

The Kinetics of the Conversion of Chicken Pepsinogen to Chicken Pepsin [PDF]

open access: possibleEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1973
The kinetics of the conversion of chicken pepsinogen to chicken pepsin was studied at 25°C by following the appearance of peptic activity using a pH‐static method and by following the changes in the fluorescence emission of the protein. It was found that in pH range of 2–4 both processes were first‐order reactions, and that the change in fluorescence ...

Immunogenetics of the Chicken

Vox Sanguinis, 1964
SummaryIn the chicken twelve autosomal blood group systems are known. The A and E systems are closely linked and the D and H and perhaps A and J systems probably loosely linked. The B system is the most complex and has more than 30 groups within it. Antisera to B antigens are usually high cross reactive.

Spread of antibiotic-resistant plasmids from chicken to chicken and from chicken to man

Nature, 1976
THE natural ecology of Escherichia coli and its infectious plasmids is not understood, although there is suggestive evidence that animals may serve as reservoirs for E. coli found in humans1,2. Investigation in this area becomes additionally important in view of the practice of introducing plasmids with pieces of foreign DNA into E. coli3,4.

The Game of Chicken

American Behavioral Scientist, 1966
Behavior in a game simulating brinksmanship and appeasement is analyzed as a function of varying parameters in the game and as over-time trends. Anatol Rapoport is Professor of Mathematical Biology and Senior Research Mathematician at the Mental Health Research Institute, University of Michigan.
