This study involved the use of the two-choice preference test to determine the taste responses of eight, each, of pygmy goats, normal goats, sheep and cattle to ascending concentrations of sucrose (Suc), sodium chloride (NaC1), acetic acid (HAc) and quinine hydrochloride (QHCI). In addition, sheep and cattle were tested at...
This study involved the use of the two-choice preference test,
where the choices were tap water and tap water-chemical solutions,
to determine the responses of sheep to ascending concentrations of
20 chemicals (taste stimulants). The chemicals tested were: the

An increased metabolic efficiency may be a factor underlying the
onset and maintenance of obesity. This study examined the Resting
Metabolic Rate (RMR), the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF), the Thermic
Effect of Exercise (TEE), and the Potentiation (P) of the TEF by
Exercise in Juvenile-onset type obesity (JOTO), and...

Statistical data from breeding experiments suggested that a
reciprocal chromosomal translocation had spontaneously occurred in
a line of S. C. White Leghorn fowl. Approximately 50% of the
embryos from matings between suspected translocation heterozygotes
and normal birds died early during incubation. In an effort
to obtain cytological proof of this...
