Background: We have analyzed by electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry the development of chicken caecal tonsil, the largest lymphoid organ of avian gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Methods: White Leghorn chickens of different ages obtained from a local supplier were rou

## Abstract Candidate kairomones of ornithophilic mosquito species are reported from GC/MS analysis of compounds from the skin on the back, the feet, and feathers from the back of White Leghorn chickens (__Gallus gallus domesticus__). Hexane and ether extracts of chicken feathers differ significant
Although pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a well-known hormone precursor in many species, molecular information about avian POMCs is still relatively scarce. In a former study (Berghman et al., [1998] Mol Cell Endocrinol. 142:119 -130) the nucleotide and amino acid sequence of N-terminal POMC in the c
## Abstract Yolk steroid hormones have been documented to have growth and behavior effects on hatchlings in several avian species. The purpose of these investigations was to determine initial levels of androstenedione (A), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), estradiol (E~2~), and testosterone (T), and docum
