Biochemical analyses of muscles from poultry bred for rapid growth Open
In the current study, commercial broiler breeder hens were mated with either commercial broiler breeder males (B/B) or artificially inseminated with semen from Leghorn cockerels (B/L). Embryos and chicks from each mating were used to study…

Effect of selection for growth on onset of sexual maturity in randombred and growth-selected lines of Japanese quail Open
An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of selection for growth (BW) on the onset of reproduction (first egg) in Japanese quail hens from growth-selected (HW) and randombred (R1) lines. The HW line had undergone over 40 generat…

Growth of the femur and tibia of a commercial broiler line Open
The objective of this experiment was to characterize the relationship between growth and skeletal development in commercial broilers as a function of both age and BW. From hatch through 43 d, birds were randomly selected weekly from the sa…

The ontogeny of fatty acid-binding protein in turkey (Meleagridis gallopavo) intestine and yolk sac membrane during embryonic and early posthatch development Open
Experiments were conducted to confirm the existence and ontogeny of fatty acid binding protein (FABP) in the intestine and yolk sac membrane of turkey poults (Meleagridis gallopavo) during embryonic and early posthatch development. Intesti…

The effect of enzyme predigestion on the nutritional quality of prepressed turkey feather meal Open
Three experiments were conducted to determine the protein efficiency ratio (PER), pepsin digestibility, TMEn, and true amino acid availability (TAAA) of prepressed turkey feather meal (PFM), enzyme-digested PFM (EPFM), and commercial feath…

The development of an immunoblotting assay for the quantification of liver fatty acid-binding protein during embryonic and early posthatch development of turkeys (Meleagridis gallopavo) Open
Turkey (Meleagridis gallopavo) liver cytosolic fatty acid binding protein (FABP) was purified and used as a standard for quantification. An immunoblotting procedure was developed to study the ontogeny of liver cytosolic FABP during embryon…

Effect of hen age on intestinal development and glucose tolerance of the Pekin duckling Open
Two experiments were conducted to determine whether hen age affects intestinal development and glucose clearance in Pekin ducklings after hatching. In Experiment 1, 85- to 92-g eggs were collected from 32- and 44-wk-old hens. The eggs from…

Effects of feeding high carbohydrate or high fat diets. 1. Growth and metabolic status of the posthatch poult following immediate or delayed access to feed Open
Three experiments were conducted with turkey poults to determine the effects of diet and delayed placement on growth and selected aspects of carbohydrate metabolism. Immediately after hatch, poults were placed in batteries and allowed eith…

Effects of feeding high carbohydrate or fat diets. 2. Apparent digestibility and apparent metabolizable energy of the posthatch poult Open
An experiment was conducted with turkey poults to determine the apparent digestibility and derivation of ME from diets containing a high proportion of carbohydrate from corn (CHO; 60% of diet) or 10%) supplemental fat from an animal-vegeta…
View article: Effects of dietary protein on restrict-fed broiler breeder pullets during a coccidial challenge
Effects of dietary protein on restrict-fed broiler breeder pullets during a coccidial challenge Open
In each of two experiments with young, feed-restricted broiler breeder pullets, the effects of differences in dietary protein intake on intestinal development and growth were studied. All pullets were restrict-fed either a 15 or 19% CP die…
View article: Influence of body weight restriction in a body-weight-selected line of turkeys on response to challenge with Pasteurella multocida
Influence of body weight restriction in a body-weight-selected line of turkeys on response to challenge with Pasteurella multocida Open
Previous research has shown that a line (F) of turkeys selected long-term for increased 16-wk BW was more susceptible to challenge with washed Pasteurella multocida (PM) than a randombred control line (RBC2), the base population of the F l…

Inclusion of coconut oil in diets for turkey breeders and its effects on embryonic yolk and liver fatty acids Open
Turkey hens were fed either a standard breeder diet (CON, myristic acid, C14.0, 1.1%; palmitic acid, C16:0, 16.8%; oleic acid, C18:1, 23%; linoleic acid, C18:2, 48.7%) or a diet containing 5% coconut oil (COCO) enriched with medium chain f…

Protein quality and calcium availability from extruded and autoclaved turkey hatchery residue Open
The protein quality of an extruded mixture of hatchery by-product meal and soybean meal (EHSM) and the calcium availability of autoclaved hatchery by-product meal (AHBM) were determined. In Experiments 1 and 2, EHSM or soybean meal (SBM) w…

Changes in fatty acid profiles in different lipid classes during late development of turkey embryos from two genetic lines Open
Fatty acid (FA) profiles in embryonic yolk sacs (YS) and livers were studied in embryos from a randombred turkey line (RBC2) and a line selected for body weight at 16 wk (F line). There were no differences in FA profiles of fresh yolk lipi…
