Subsequent Production and Egg Quality of Forced Molted Hens
Poultry Science, 1966 Abstract PHYSIOLOGISTS studying the mechanism of molting in birds have associated the activity of the thyroid and pituitary with the cessation of lay and feather loss (Tanabe et al., 1957; Perek et al., 1957). Data from these and other studies (Adams, 1955; Harris and Shaffner, 1957; and Himeno and Tanabe, 1957) would indicate that compounds such as ...

The Effects of Forced Molt Treatment on Blood Biochemicals in Hens
Poultry Science, 1983 A study was conducted to determine the effects of an environmentally induced force molt treatment on concentrations and daily variations of selected serum biochemicals during early molt. Laying hens were placed into two environmental control chambers. In one chamber, control (Con) laying hens were maintained on long photoperiods of 19 hr of light daily
