Expression of GnIH and its effects on follicle development and steroidogenesis in quail ovaries under different photoperiods

Poultry Science, 2022
: Photoperiod is an important environmental factor that influence seasonal reproduction behavior in bird and GnIH can play a function in this process through the reproductive axis, and some studies suggest that GnIH may have a direct role at the gonadal ...

Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023
Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...

Resveratrol sustains intestinal barrier integrity, improves antioxidant capacity, and alleviates inflammation in the jejunum of ducks exposed to acute heat stress

Poultry Science, 2021
: Resveratrol, a natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory plant extract, was found to have a protective effect in poultry subjected to heat stress. In this study, we strove to characterize resveratrol on intestinal of duck exposed to acute heat stress and ...

Reference gene selection for expression studies in the reproductive axis tissues of Magang geese at different reproductive stages under light treatment

Scientific Reports, 2021
In quantitative PCR research, appropriate reference genes are key to determining accurate mRNA expression levels. In order to screen the reference genes suitable for detecting gene expression in tissues of the reproductive axis, a total of 420 (males and
