(12) True digestible values were determined with a 48 h excreta collection assay using conventional (CONV) and caecectomized (CEC) cockerels.
(13) Socially housed leghorn cockerels were confined to a heated grid (55, 57, or 59 degrees C, Experiment 1; 59, 61, or 63 degrees C, Experiment 2) and tested at posthatch ages of 14 days (Experiment 1) and 1, 3, 7, or 14 days (Experiment 2).
(14) Lipid infusions had no effect on SCWL cockerels when administered intrajugularly but decreased food intake significantly when infused intrahepatically.
(15) The concentration was very low in untreated cockerels (approximately 0.5 molecule per cell).
(16) Weights for 4-week-old cockerels were maximum when either 1.10% dietary lysine in the 15.6 degrees C. environment or 1.00% dietary lysine in the 29.4 degrees C. environment were fed.

(18) Activities measured in the abdominal segments were approximately 8-9-fold higher than those measured in thoracic segments from the same cockerels.
(19) All five plaque DNA-associated tumors hybridized to a cockerel genomic probe.
(20) Cockerels of an egg-laying strain were used to study the mode of action of epinephrine on food intake in chickens.
Rooster
Definition:
(n.) The male of the domestic fowl; a cock.
Example Sentences:
(1) To investigate the adaptive responses of immature bone to increased loads, young (3-wk-old) White Leghorn roosters were subjected to moderately intense treadmill running for 5 or 9 wk.
(2) A single mRNA of 1.3 kb was detected at high levels in heart and brain of 10-week-old roosters, and, at lower levels in spleen, liver and skeletal muscle.

(5) A recent re-determination of the rooster protamine amino acid sequence (28 residues from the N terminus) matches that predicted from the genome rather than the sequence of Nakano et al.
(6) We also show, by indirect immunofluorescence studies, that the 60-kDa protein is antigenically conserved in the germ cells of grasshopper, rooster, and frog and in plant meiocytes.
(7) Testis, epididymis and ductus deferens of the adult domestic fowl and male gonads of juvenile roosters have been studied by means of histochemical and histological methods.
(8) Another man in a pirate hat covered in voodoo dolls approached the screen, placing a live rooster on the stage as if offering it to the football gods.

(15) Consequently, for an estrogenized rooster, the addition of both heparin and yeast RNA to the homogenate suffices to stabilize the polysomes, whereas control rooster liver homogenate needs supplementation with endogenous ribonuclease inhibitor.
(16) Aggressive and passive roosters displayed agonistic behaviour towards each other.
(17) Moreover, the maximal amplitude of the stapedius muscle EMG response is consistently lower than that detected in young roosters, despite the fact that the maximal vocalization amplitude of the adult birds is much higher.
