Thyroid harmones in yolk and their role in chick embryogenesis
- 1. Punjab Agricultural Univ., Ludhiana (India). Coll. of Veterinary Science
Description
Previous studies had confirmed that large amounts of radioiodine could accumulate in the egg yolk when 131I was injected into laying hen. Studies were made to check whether the iodine present in the egg yolk is in an hormonal or some other form; and what role the product(s) may be playing during embryogenesis. Results indicate that the egg yolk contains significant amounts of thyroidal hormones which are enough to meet the growth needs of the embryo. (M.G.B.)
