Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of Feed in Fast- and Slow-Growing Lines of Chickens
TL;DR: Development and investigation of experimental and commercial strains of animals selected in divergent directions for growth has begun at a number of stations, finding two strains of White Plymouth Rock chickens having vastly different rates of growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Bird Density, Dietary Energy, Light Intensity, and Cage Level on the Reproductive Performance of Heavy Type Chickens in Wire Cages
TL;DR: Results suggest the desirability of further study to investigate the interaction of environmental and dietary factors, and the period × density, period × diet, and period × cage level interactions found for egg production, feed consumption, and body weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Restricted Feeding During the Growing Period on Reproductive Performance of Large Type White Turkeys
TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that the body weight of growing pullets is reduced, the onset of sexual maturity delayed from two to four weeks and laying house mortality reduced as a result of lowering total feed intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Correlation Between Egg Shell Color and Specific Gravity as a Measure of Shell Strength
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre-laying Nutritional and Environmental Factors in the Performance of the Adult Fowl 2. Influence of Environment on the Calcium Requirement and Adaptation of Single Comb White Leghorn Females
TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that restricting the level of total feed intake during the growing period resulted in delayed sexual maturity and increased egg production which persisted through the second egg laying cycle or third cycle.
