(1) The pullets were housed in battery brooder pens with raised wire floors.
(2) At necropsy of an 8-week-old pullet a 0.75 X 5.0 cm.
(3) Two experiments were conducted to compare beak treatment effects on pullets of three genetic stocks.
(4) Many of the hens dying from the disease are younger and no pullets had been planned to replace them yet, Elam said.
(5) Mortality from cannibalism was absent among pullets kept in experimental floor pens.
(6) Performance criteria were averaged over all trials and used to determine per cage returns ($) above feed and pullet rearing costs (irrespective of fixed costs) and per cage profits (gross returns minus total costs) for the four treatment combinations.
(7) Pullets were full-fed for the first 8 wk of life, then placed on a skip-a-day program with breeder-recommended feed allocations.
(8) Vaccinated commercial pullets were protected against morbidity, death, and egg-production decline at either peak of lay (25 wks old) or at 55 wks old.
(9) This was found to be the method of choice in coccidiosis control in replacement pullets in the semi-arid subtropical climate of Rhodesia.
(10) Six hundred pullets (18-wk-old) were equally and randomly allocated to the LP and NP treatments.
(11) The infusion of corticosterone significantly increased the plasma concentrations of this steroid over that observed in the control pullets and was not related to the dose of PMSG.
(12) Urolithiasis was induced in an experimental group of Single Comb White Leghorn pullets by feeding them layer ration and exposing them to nephrotrophic Gray strain infectious bronchitis virus (IBV).
(13) Endogenous pituitary glands of broiler pullets that received high density capsules (1.2 X 10(6) cells) were observed 30 days after fiber implantation at 2 weeks of age.
(14) Two experiments were conducted with laying pullets between 32 and 47 weeks of age.
(15) Broiler breeder pullets were vaccinated at 20 to 24 weeks of age with an inactivated, oil emulsion vaccine containing the CO8 strain of avian reovirus.
(16) Data from 30 published experiments have been analysed to examine the relationships between environmental temperature and the long-term, adapted responses of laying pullets, measured as metabolisable energy intake, egg output and body weight change.
(17) Agonistic behaviors were not different between BT and IN pullets.
(18) Replacement pullets which had been found infected with Salmonella were treated with antibiotics for 12 days, moved to a clean house by the 11th day and given 2 treatments with a competitive exclusion (CE) preparation on the 13th and 15th day.
(19) The production of double-yolked eggs and the duration of the rapid growth phase of yolks were measured in parental lines of White Plymouth Rock pullets and their crosses over 30 d, commencing with the day of first egg.
(20) This is the first report of cryptosporidiosis in rearing pullets in the Netherlands and also the first time that the combination of this infection with Marek's disease is mentioned.
