Aphagia in Chickens

S. E. Feldman 1, S. Larsson 1, M. K. Dimick 1, and S. Lepkovsky 1

1 From the Department of Poultry Husbandry, University of California, Berkeley, California

Aphagic chickens have been produced with electrolytic lesions placed stereotaxically in the diencephalon. These chickens were maintained by introducing food into their crops through a tube. They were inactive and lost much of the ‘nervous’ temperament of White Leghorn chickens. One or more of these chickens showed additional disturbances: impaired gastrointestinal motility, temperature regulation, adipsia and abnormal body composition.
