The effect of induced moulting in hens on resistance to primary and secondary infections of Raillietina cesticillus Molin, 1858
Abstract
Mature hens were induced to moult and were subsequently found to be resistant to both primary and secondary infections of Raillietina cesticillus, whereas non-moulting birds that continued to lay were susceptible to primary and secondary infections.
