The Microflora of Southern Ohio Poultry Litter
Poultry Science, 1971 Abstract INTRODUCTION THE disposal of 48 million tons of poultry litter produced annually (Wadleigh, 1968) has become a major problem to the broiler and shell egg producers. Studies by several investigators on the utilization of this material have shown that satisfactory animal nutrition can be obtained when cattle, chickens, sheep, and swine are ...

Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Trade‐offs in avian parental care: a review of theory and meta‐analysis of brood size manipulations
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The selective forces shaping parental care have been studied for over 50 years. While theoretical and experimental work has yielded qualitative progress, the large body of empirical work testing predictions about parental investment based on life‐history trade‐offs has yet to be synthesized.
