Progesterone in the Blood of the Laying Hen [PDF]
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

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

Detection of transgenic and endogenous plant DNA fragments and proteins in the digesta, blood, tissues, and eggs of laying hens fed with phytase transgenic corn. [PDF]
The trials were conducted to assess the effects of long-term feeding with phytase transgenic corn (PTC) to hens on laying performance and egg quality, and investigate the fate of transgenic DNA and protein in digesta, blood, tissues, and eggs. Fifty-week

Threonine requirements of laying hens
In order to determine the Thr requirement of laying hens, two experiments were conducted using laying performance and plasma Thr concentration as parameters. At 29 and 39 wk of age, 100 and 600 laying hens in Experiments 1 and 2, respectively, with average BW and high egg production rate, were randomized, housed in individual cages, and given free ...
