Abstract
|
|
|
Experiments were carried out in order to study the relationship of thyroid activity to growth potentiality in chicken. Further work was also performed to determine thyroid secretion rate and body gain of the different Sexes.
A correlation coefficient of 0.241 in the male and 0.237 in the female were obtained between daily gains and daily thyroid ^(131)I out put rate in the chicken. The correlation was not statistically significant, but the chicken with a lower thyroid activity tended to gain faster than those with a higher thyroid activity.
The average daily gain of the female(12.13 gram) was significantly higher than the male (9.28 gram) .
The average daily thyroid secretion rate of male tended to have a higher rate, but it was not statistically significant.
