Comparative assessment of bone among wild-type, restricted ovulator and out-of-production hens.

British poultry science - 1 Aug 2004

Abstract excerpt

1. The aim of this study was to assess bone characteristics in restricted ovulator (RO) hens. These hens generally are unable to ovulate due to a point mutation in the oocyte VLDL receptor gene whose protein product mediates the uptake of yolk precursors. Because these hens do not have the cyclic calcium (Ca) metabolism associated with egg formation, they could be a useful model for studying bone metabolism. 2....
