Impact of Reproductive Effort on Survival of Rio Grande Wild Turkey Meleagris Gallop Intermedia Hens in Texas [PDF]
The southeastern portion of the Edwards Plateau of Texas, historically a stronghold of Rio Grande wild turkeys Meleagris gallopavo intermedia , has seen the numbers of turkeys declining since the 1970s. Because hen survival is a key parameter affecting turkey population dynamics, we monitored

Comparison of heterophil functions of modern commercial and wild-type Rio Grande turkeys [PDF]
The purpose of the present study was to measure any functional differences in peripheral blood heterophils isolated from a commercial turkey line to wild-type Rio Grande turkeys. The phagocytosis of Salmonella enteritidis, oxidative burst (OXB) and degranulation (DGR) were used as parameters of heterophil functional efficiency in these studies.

SEROLOGIC RESPONSE OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS TO EXPERIMENTAL INFECTIONS OF MYCOPLASMA GALLISEPTICUM [PDF]
The serologic response of Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) to Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) was determined. Free-ranging turkeys were caught in southern Texas, shipped to the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and housed in isolation facilities. Fourteen birds were exposed to MG, by intratracheal and intranasal inoculation. Eight

Survival of Rio Grande Wild Turkey chicks
Knowledge of chick survival rates is required to develop species-specific habitat-survival relationships. We determined pre-flight daily survival of Rio Grande Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) chicks from hatching to time of tree roost at four sites in southwestern Kansas and the Texas Rolling Plains, May-August, 2000 and 2001.

Structure and age-dependent development of the turkey liver: a comparative study of a highly selected meat-type and a wild-type turkey line [PDF]
In this study the macroscopic and microscopic structure of the liver of a fast growing, meat-type turkey line (British United turkeys BUT Big 6, n = 25) and a wild-type turkey line (Wild Canadian turkey, n = 48) were compared at the age of 4, 8, 12, 16 ...

STATUS OF WILD TURKEY RESTORATION IN EAST TEXAS
Wild turkey restoration efforts in east Texas began in the early 1940's. From then until the early 1950's penreared eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) were released in one county and wild‐trapped Rio Grande turkeys (M. g.
