Aortic Rupture, Body Weight, and Blood Pressure in the Turkey as Influenced by Strain, Dietary Fat, Beta-aminopropionitrile Fumarate, and Diethylstilbestrol

A Study of Aortic Rupture and Performance as Influenced by Selection for Hypertension and Hypotension in the Turkey

“…The mortality due to aortic rupture was Krista et al (1969) Table 1, diet series 1 Table 2, T-S Table 2, T-6 Table 2, T-7 Table 2, Breeder TB-651 1 Krista et al (1969), Table 1, diet series 3 Table 2, T-5 Table 2, T-6 Table 2, T-7 Table 2, Breeder TB-651 1 Krista et al (1969), Table 1, diet series 3 Table 2, T-6 Table 2, T-7 Waibel et al (1969), low in the Pi generation (Table 6). In subsequent generations mortality due to aortic rupture in the male population increased in the high blood pressure line.…”

“…This investigation supported by research grant HE-04177 from National Heart Institute, U.S.P.H.S. A preliminary report of certain of the earlier data in this investigation was made: Krista, L. M., P. E. Waibel, R. N. Shoffner and J. H. Sautter, 1969. Natural dissecting aneurysm (aortic rupture) and blood pressure in the turkey.…”

Strain Crosses Within and Between Lines of Turkeys Selected for High and Low Blood Pressure

“…After hatching the poults were distributed to brooding pens containing both sexes of each strain and cross. During the starting and growing periods turkeys were fed diet series 3 (see Krista et al, 1969). The blood pressure readings of the progeny were recorded at 8 weeks of age (method described by Krista et al, 1963).…”

Influence of Diethylstilbestrol on the Turkey With Special Reference to Histological Changes in the Aorta

“…The diets used are described by Krista et al (1969) (diet #3). DES injections were made at two week intervals starting at two weeks of age and continuing until 14 weeks of age.…”
