Bacteriological investigation of microorganisms (Salmonella sp. and other Enterobacteriaceae) in common quails (Coturnix coturnix) submitted to different forced-molting procedures [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2013 The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Salmonella in common quails submitted to forced molting. A total of 240 quails were divided at 40 weeks of age into four groups: CG (control, quails not submitted to molting); FM (fasting method ...

Feed Restriction During the Growing Period, Forced Molt, and Egg Production
Poultry Science, 1984 An experiment was conducted to examine postmolt laying performance of White Leghorn hens that had been subjected to feed restriction from 8 to 20 weeks of age. During the postmolt period, birds in all forced-molt (FM) groups consistently had higher percent hen-day egg production than the control birds.

A System Approach to Determining the Feasibility of Forced Molting Commercial Layers
Poultry Science, 1982 Abstract The economical and practical considerations in determining the feasibility of molting a commercial layer flock are based on several production and economical factors. This paper describes a computerized model used to predict: 1) the economic feasibility of molting when layers are in various production periods; 2) the net profit resulting ...

Secretion of Luteinizing Hormone During a Forced Molt in Turkey Hens
Poultry Science, 1996 The secretory pattern of luteinizing hormone (LH) was determined in turkey hens during a forced molt induced by water (1 d) and feed (5 d) restriction and switching the photoschedule from 14 h light (L):10 h dark (D) (long-day) to 6L:18D (short-day), the 1st d of feed and water restriction.

Response of Broiler Breeder Hens to Forced Molting by Hormonal and Dietary Manipulations
Poultry Science, 1994 Experiments were conducted to compare dietary and hormonal techniques for molting broiler breeder hens. In the first experiment, production dropped to 5% 3 wk after hens were restricted to an intake of one half of their calculated energy requirement (FR). Egg production levels of hens given a single i.m.

A Jojoba-Rich Diet as a New Forced Molting Method in Poultry
Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 1998 Abstract Various qualitative and quantitative feed restriction methods have been applied to force molt chickens in order to improve post-molt egg laying. We report here the effective use of jojoba meal for inducing molting, based on feed restriction.
