Analysis of excreta bacterial community after forced molting in aged laying hens [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Objective As laying hens become aged, laying performance and egg quality are generally impaired. One of the practical methods to rejuvenate production and egg quality of aged laying hens with decreasing productivity is a forced molting.

Progesterone in the Blood of the Laying Hen [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1958
FRAPS et al. 1, using the bioassay method of Hooker and Forbes2, reported progestational activity in the peripheral blood of the hen. Layne et al. 3, using chromatographic procedures, failed to find progesterone in chicken blood although they did identify this substance in extracts of ovarian tissue. In preliminary studies in this laboratory4, chemical

Effects of Observed Incubation Behavior on Egg Production in Laying Hens of a Commercial Chicken Breed and Detection of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms Associated with the Incubation Behavior

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2022
Upon contact with laid eggs, avians initiate incubation behavior and stop laying additional eggs. This phenomenon suggests that the productivity of laying hens in free-range facilities may decrease because of frequent contact with laid eggs.

Effects of dietary dimethylglycine supplementation on laying performance, egg quality, and tissue index of hens during late laying period

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2022
: In this study, the effects of 5 graded dietary levels (0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, and 0.125%) of dimethylglycine (DMG) were studied in laying hens during the late laying period (71–78 wk).
