โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

The effects of exposure to light were investigated during and shortly after the period of light stimulation. A particular objective was to evaluate any responses to the type of illumination conditions generally used for observation of avian embryos. Twenty 16โ€day Japanese quail embryos were illuminated for 15 minutes each during a total recording period of 55 minutes. Heart rate, respiration rate and an approximate measure of activity were recorded. Mean heart rate was found to be higher during stimulation than before and did not return to the prestimulation level during the recording period after stimulation ceased. The lack of an immediate heart rate response to the onset of stimulation separates the effects of light from those of touch, rotation, odours, tastes and maternal calls. The possibility that light may act to stimulate accelerated development is discussed.

## Abstract The development of quail embryos obtained after in vitro fertilization of oocytes ovulated in vitro was investigated. About 40% of the specimens, after 18โ€“20 hr of incubation, had undergone cleavage to reach stages IVโ€“VI when viewed under a stereo microscope. However, only 36% of these

The glycogen body is a functionally enigmatic structure located in lumbosacral region of the spinal cord in birds. This tissue is unique to birds, and, although it is believed to be present in all species, studies on the glycogen body to date have been confined largely to the domestic chicken. The p
