(1) Urea was determined by means of diacetyl monoxim in the blood cells of 80 cockerels of the initial breed White Leghorn, commercial hybrid Primant.
(2) But he will also have seen Michael Cockerell's savage documentary on Saturday on How to be a Tory leader.
(3) "It started out as surreal, then people joined in and it sort of faded a bit, but it seemed pretty heartfelt from Rodman's side," Simon Cockerell, a tour guide who attended the game, told Reuters.
(4) Plasma growth hormone (GH) and prolactin concentrations were measured between 1 and 24 weeks of age in both sexes of a laying strain of chickens and from 1 to 9 weeks of age in broiler cockerels.
(5) 50 g of each diet was tube-fed to each of 24 intact and 24 caecectomised cockerels, which had been previously starved for 48 h. Excreta were collected, individually, for 48 h. The concentrations of amino acids in the diets and excreta were determined, and digestibility coefficients calculated.
(6) Hubbard cockerels (2.8 to 3.6 kg) with chronically implanted electromagnetic blood flow probes placed on the celiac artery were used to determine the effect of elevated ambient temperature on postprandial intestinal hyperemia.
(7) In immature cockerels adrenaline administration lowered the levels of plasma growth hormone.
(8) Two series of balance trials were performed with adult cockerels and with broiler chickens during their 5th week of life, and one with adult colostomised hens.
(9) Day-old cockerels were fed either a rachitogenic diet containing no Ca (-D-Ca), 1.4% Ca (-D), or 3% Ca (-DHiCa) and given corn oil (-D groups) or vitamin D3 in corn oil (+D and +D-Ca) p.o.
(10) The magnitude of the response was lower than in the A3V cockerels.
(11) It appears likely that loss of water resulting in osmotic changes during infection is the major reason for the observed changes in prolactin concentration in infected cockerels.
(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.
(17) Carcinogen administration accelerates arteriosclerotic plaque development in cockerels, and transforming elements are present in DNA from advanced human plaques.
(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.
Weathercock
Definition:
(n.) A vane, or weather vane; -- so called because originally often in the figure of a cock, turning on the top of a spire with the wind, and showing its direction.
(n.) Hence, any thing or person that turns easily and frequently; one who veers with every change of current opinion; a fickle, inconstant person.
