Enhanced maternal aggression and associated changes in neuropeptide gene expression in multiparous rats.

29 Sep 2009 Although it has often been speculated that prior reproductive experience improves subsequent maternal care, few studies have examined specific changes in behavior during a 1st versus 2nd lactation. During lactation, mothers display heightened ... Read more...

Comparative effects of furnished and battery cages on egg production and physiological parameters in White Leghorn hens.

29 Sep 2009 Laboratory animal well-being can be improved by housing the animals in species-specific natural or near-to-natural environments. An enriched environment may have a similar effect on chickens. The purpose of this study was to examine if housing ... Read more...

Transport stress in broilers: I. Blood metabolism, glycolytic potential, and meat quality.

29 Sep 2009 The effect of transport stress on blood metabolism, glycolytic potential, and meat quality in broilers was investigated. Arbor Acres chicks (n = 360, 1 d old, males) were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 treatments: unstressed control, 45-min ... Read more...
