Environmental Toxicity Studies Using Chickens as Surrogates for Wildlife: Effects of Vehicle Volume
Domestic chicken embryos are frequently used for avian developmental toxicity studies of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, which are often injected into eggs with oil-based vehicles. The volume of toxicant and vehicle injected ranges from relatively low volumes (0.1–0.5 l/g egg) to relatively high volumes (1.0 l/g egg and above). Previous research from our laboratory suggested that high ...

Environmental Toxicity Studies Using Chickens as Surrogates for Wildlife: Effects of Injection Day
Domestic chicken embryos are frequently used for avian developmental toxicity studies of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, which are often injected into eggs with oil-based vehicles. Injection times range from immediately prior to incubation (embryonic day zero, E0) to after 4 days of incubation (E4) and beyond. Because the majority of organogenesis in chicken embryos occurs during the first ...

Halogenated flame retardants during egg formation and chicken embryo development: Maternal transfer, possible biotransformation, and tissue distribution
Hen muscle, eggs, and newborn chick tissues (muscle and liver) were collected from an electronic waste recycling site in southern China. The authors examined the maternal transfer, potential metabolism, and tissue distribution of several halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) during egg formation and chicken embryo development. The pollutant composition changes significantly from hen muscle to ...

Veterinary Vaccines
Vaccination aims to mimic the development of naturally acquired immunity by inoculation of nonpathogenic but still immunogenic components of a pathogen, or closely related organisms. The term “vaccine” (Latin “vacca,” meaning cow) was first introduced by Edward Jenner to describe the inoculation (or vaccination) of humans with the cowpox virus to protect them against ...
