[the germinal population at embryonic stage and young age in the female hybrid duck born of male pekin x female barbary crossing. comparison with ducks of the parent species].	as hatching the number of left ovary germinal cells of the female hybrid (anas platyrhynchos x cairina moschata) is weaker than that of the peking and barbary females because the small size of the genital crest limites the number of colonising germinal cells. as well after 16 days of incubation the multiplication of the oogonies stops in a way that we can not explain. the later growth of the ovarian follicle is, however, very fast, and the first laying is earlier than with the female parents.	1977	142551
[the effect of hybridization on the embryonic germ cell population and the young females produced by the crossing of a male peking duck with a female barbary duck (anas platyrhynchos x cairina moschata)].	ovarian development has been studied in a hybrid duck (anas platyrhynchos male x cairina moschata female) and in females of the parental peking and barbary species. in the hybrid, the gonadal ridge when it first forms is smaller than in either parental species, and after 16 days of incubation there is less cortical growth and less oogonial proliferation. at hatching, the left ovary of the hybrid contains fewer follicles, perhaps because the reduced size of the hybrid gonadal ridge limits germ ce ...	1978	632731
identification of goose, mule duck, chicken, turkey, and swine in foie gras by species-specific polymerase chain reaction.	a specific polymerase chain reaction (pcr) has been developed for the identification of goose (anser anser), mule duck (anas platyrhynchos x cairina moschata), chicken (gallus gallus), turkey (meleagris gallopavo), and swine (sus scrofa domesticus) in foie gras. a forward common primer was designed on a conserved dna sequence in the mitochondrial 12s ribosomal rna gene (rrna), and reverse primers were designed to hybridize on species-specific dna sequences of each species considered. the differe ...	2003	12617577
quantitation of mule duck in goose foie gras using taqman real-time polymerase chain reaction.	a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (pcr) method has been developed for the quantitation of mule duck (anas platyrhynchos x cairina moschata) in binary duck/goose foie gras mixtures. the method combines the use of real-time pcr with duck-specific and endogenous control "duck + goose" primers to measure duck content and total foie gras content, respectively. both pcr systems (duck-specific and duck + goose) were designed on the mitochondrial 12s ribosomal rna gene (rrna). the duck- ...	2004	15030199
corticosterone, cortisol, triglycerides, aspartate aminotransferase and uric acid plasma concentrations during foie gras production in male mule ducks (anas platyrhynchos × cairina moschata).	1. corticosterone, cortisol, triglycerides, aspartate aminotransferase (ast) and uric acid (ua) plasma concentration were measured at 8 (7 days after group housing), 12 (after 7 days of force feeding) and 13 weeks of age (at slaughter after 12 days of force feeding), and 45 min after an adrenocorticotrophic hormone (acth) stimulation test at 8 weeks of age in 12 male mule ducks in an on-farm experiment. 2. no significant increase of corticosterone was found during the force-feeding period compar ...	2012	23130574
