2. Implications of Selection for High and Low Adrenal Response to Stress
Keith I. Brown,Karl E. Nestor +1 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that elevated plasma corticosterone in response to stress will probably induce elevated plasma catecholamines, which may result in hyperactivity, higher blood pressure, poorer feed efficiency, and poorer reproductive performance.

Egg Quality and Poult Production in Turkeys 2. Inheritance and Relationship among Traits
TL;DR: Shell traits were generally related genetically to hatchability and number of poults produced per hen late in the laying season and also usually had the highest heritability at this time, the reverse was evident for yolk traits.

Changes in Plasma Calcium, Phosphorus, Lipids, and Estrogens in Turkey Hens with Reproductive State
TL;DR: Simple correlations were calculated between all factors within the stimulatory and laying periods, and all correlations except those with diffusible calcium, FFA, and E2 were positive, relatively high and significant (P < .01).

Egg Quality and Poult Production in Turkeys 1. Variation during a Seven Month Laying Period
TL;DR: Eggs from meat strain females had significantly greater egg weight, wet weight yolk, shell weight, incubation weight loss, and percent albumen than those of the egg line and percent ash in yolk exhibited a curvilinear relationship with age of bird which was believed to be the result of changes in ambient temperature.

Plasma free fatty acid and neutral lipid concentrations in immature, laying and broody turkey hens.
TL;DR: Free fatty acid concentration in blood plasma from immature, laying and broody turkey hens were re-examined following removal of phospholipids and found to be much lower than previously reported.
