Object Individuation in Domestic Chicks (Gallus gallus)
… objects was investigated in two/three-day-old chicks (Gallus gallus). A first series of experiments (Exp. 1 - Exp. 6) assessed the role of the property information provided by colour, shape, size or individually distinctive features, as well as spatiotemporal information in object …

Behavior-genetic analyses in Japanese quail chicks
The investigation reported here involved an analysis of some of the biological factors affecting tonic immobility in young Japanese quail. Both duration and incidence of tonic immobility were measured on each bird at six days and again at 12 days of age. A significant line effect was found at both …

Efficacy of dietary guanidinoacetic acid in broiler chicks
… performance and muscle phosphagen homeostasis in chicks when supplemented in either Arg-deficient or Arg-adequate diets. Study 1 established that 0.12% GAA supplementation increased (P < 0.05) gain:feed (G:F) by 7% on average compared with the 0.0% GAA negative controls. Bodyweight gain (BWG) …

Biological Activity of Phenolics in Chicks and Rats
… on various metabolic events in rats and poultry. Chicks fed 6% indulin (a Kraft wood lignin), 12% wood molasses (Masonex('(REGTM))) or 6 and 12% cane molasses all had increased cytochrome P-450 levels over control-fed birds. Chicks fed 6% indulin, with or without nebacitin (bacitracin:neomycin …

Evaluation of probiotics as feed supplements for ostrich chicks
… is limited by the high mortality rate of ostrich chicks. Chicks which lack a well established microbiota are more susceptible to potentially fatal pathogenic infections. Therefore, the mortality rate may be decreased by establishing the correct gut microbiota by the use of ostrich specific …

Factors affecting utilization of niacin and its precursors by chicks
… as sources of niacin for the chick. The chicks were fed ad libitum in all experiments. A niacin-deficient diet based upon corn and casein was used to establish growth-promoting efficacy of several sources of niacin activity. In the presence of excess dietary nicotinamide, chicks fed the …

Social predispositions and underlying neural mechanisms in chicks (Gallus gallus domesticus)
… cues. Immediately after hatching visually naïve chicks for instance, spontaneously prefer biological motion patterns as well as face-like stimuli. Similar evidence has been collected on human adults and infants. In the present work, we aimed to investigate both dynamic and static cues eliciting …

Modified postnatal social experience alters intersensory development of bobwhite quail chicks
… what types of postnatal social experience young chicks require to successfully pair sights and sounds and 2) when these experiences need to occur to maintain species-typical intersensory development. Specifically, chicks in this study were reared in one of four conditions: with normal siblings, …

Role of appetite-regulating peptides in adipose physiology in broiler chicks
… α-MSH on adipose tissue physiology in broiler chicks. Chicks were intraperitoneally injected with α-MSH and adipose tissue and plasma collected. Cells isolated from abdominal fat of a different set of chicks were treated with α-MSH. Results suggest that α-MSH increases lipolysis and reduces …

The responsivity of neonatal chicks to conspecific distress and contentment vocalizations
… to investigate the responses of neonatal chicks in either a straight runway or an open-field to same-age, conspecific distress and contentment vocalizations over the first several days of post-hatch life. Three hundred forty-eight White Leghorn chicks from either a sample of the Cornell …

Branched -Chain Amino Acid Nutrition of Grow-Finish Pigs and Young Chicks
… Ile and valine (Val) relative to lysine (Lys) in chicks during the second and third week of life. A basal diet deficient in Lys, Ile and Val was formulated utilizing corn-gluten meal (CGM). Six dose levels of each AA were fed in three different experiments. Quadratic responses to each AA occurred …

Evaluation of high-protein canola meals fed to growing chicks and weanling pigs
… and SBM relative to KH2PO4 when fed to growing chicks and to determine if P bioavailability was increased by addition of microbial phytase to a P-deficient CMA diet. Results indicated that as P level was increased by addition of KH2PO4, CMA, CMB, or SBM, weight gain and tibia ash (mg/tibia and …
