2008 journal article

The mRNA for zona pellucida proteins B1, C and D in two genetic lines of turkey hens that differ in fertility

ANIMAL REPRODUCTION SCIENCE, 111(2-4), 149–159.

By: A. Benson *, V. Christensen n, B. Fairchild* & A. Davis*

author keywords: Zona pellucida proteins; Turkey hens; Fertility; mRNA
MeSH headings : Animals; Blotting, Northern / veterinary; Egg Proteins / biosynthesis; Egg Proteins / genetics; Female; Membrane Glycoproteins / biosynthesis; Membrane Glycoproteins / genetics; Ovarian Follicle / metabolism; Ovarian Follicle / physiology; RNA, Messenger / genetics; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Receptors, Cell Surface / biosynthesis; Receptors, Cell Surface / genetics; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction / veterinary; Selection, Genetic; Turkeys / genetics; Turkeys / metabolism; Zona Pellucida / metabolism; Zona Pellucida / physiology; Zona Pellucida Glycoproteins
TL;DR: The results suggest that the greater rates of fertility previously observed in eggs from the E line hens compared with the F line of hens may be related to differential amounts of the potential sperm binding proteins ZPB1 and ZPC. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

Incubator temperature and oxygen concentration at the plateau stage in oxygen consumption affects intestinal maturation of broiler chicks

International Journal of Poultry Science, 5(3), 229.

By: M. Wineland*, V. Christensen*, I. Yildrum, B. Fairchild*, K. Mann* & D. Ort*

TL;DR: It is concluded that incubator temperatures greater than 37o C, and oxygen concentrations less than 21% are detrimental to intestinal maturation in broiler chicks. (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 journal article

Incubator temperature and oxygen concentrations during the plateau stage in oxygen uptake affect turkey embryo plasma T4 and T3 concentrations

International Journal of Poultry Science, 4(5), 268.

By: V. Christensen n, M. Wineland*, I. Yildirum, B. Fairchild*, D. Ort* & K. Mann n

TL;DR: Temperature and oxygen are independent stimuli of the avian embryonic thyroid gland during the plateau stage, and that incubator temperature and oxygen concentrations can modulate development of turke y embryos by changing plasma T and T concentrations. (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 journal article

The relationship between sperm hydrolysis of the perivitelline layer and embryonic livability

JOURNAL OF APPLIED POULTRY RESEARCH, 14(1), 60–68.

By: V. Christensen n, B. Fairchild n & D. Ort n

author keywords: sperm hydrolysis; embryo viability; fertility; turkey
TL;DR: It is suggested that a reduction in the penetration of sperm through the perivitelline layer results in improved embryo livability at wk 4 of development, but the authors saw no association with wk 1 embryolivability. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

Hen age relationship with embryonic mortality and fertility in commercial turkeys

JOURNAL OF APPLIED POULTRY RESEARCH, 11(3), 260–265.

By: B. Fairchild n, V. Christensen n, J. Grimes n, M. Wineland n & L. Bagley

author keywords: embryo mortality; fertility; hatchability; hen age; turkey
TL;DR: It is suggested that hen age influences embryonic mortality in modern commercial turkeys and could be used as an experimental model for further study of embryonic mortality. (via Semantic Scholar)
