STUDIES ON THE BIOASSAY OF HORMONES—THE COMPARATIVE OVIDUCT RESPONSE OF VARIOUS BREEDS OF CHICKS TO STILBESTROL

Abstract
White Leghorns, White Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and a Sex Linked Cross (Plymouth Rock and New Hampshire Red) were used. The material was injected once daily for 5 days (0.1 ml. of oil soln./day). Rhode Island Reds and the Sex Linked breed were the more sensitive. For bioassay the White Leghorn appeared best from the point of lowest error range, since these gave a mean error range of[long dash]21 to +28%.
