  1. 1. Spatial resolution threshold in layers and red jungle fowls : are there differences due to light intensity or light spectra?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Pauline Annerstedt; [2018]
    Keywords : spatial resolution threshold; layer; red jungle fowls; visual acuity;

    Abstract : The domestic fowl (Gallus gallus domesticus) originates from the forests in South-east Asia. It may be correct to assume that the visual system of the domestic fowl is still adapted to light that is filtered through the green forest canopy. READ MORE

  5. 4. Detecting Major Genes Controlling Robustness of Chicken Body Weight Using Double Generalized Linear Models

    University essay from Statistik

    Author : Liming Zhang; Yang Han; [2010]
    Keywords : variance-controlling genes; quantitative trait loci; double generalized linear models.;

    Abstract : Detecting both the majors genes that control the phenotypic mean and those controlling phenotypic variance has been raised in quantitative trait loci analysis.

  6. 5. The expression of thermoTRP channels in the brood patch of jungle fowl (Gallus gallus) during egg incubation

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Shadi Jafari; [2009]
    Keywords : Brood patch; broody; jungle fowl; skin; thermoTRP;

    Abstract :   The regulation of egg temperature requires the transfer of heat from the brood patch. Thus, the brood patch needs the presence of thermo receptors as well as an appropriate vasomotor response. During the incubation an exact detection of the egg’s temperature is essential. READ MORE
