  • Title: Influence of age on the febrile response to E. coli and S. typhimurium endotoxins in growing pullets.

    Journal: Br Poult Sci; 1992 Sep; 33(4):769-74. PubMed ID: 1393672.
    Abstract:
    1. The effect of bacterial endotoxin injection was studied in growing pullets of different ages. Commercial chicks were divided into 5 groups according to age. Bacterial endotoxins (E. coli and S. typhimurium) were injected intravenously and rectal temperature was measured over a period of 300 min. 2. The results showed no significant effect of age on the febrile response induced by bacterial endotoxins, but a slight tendency towards a reduced fever peak was observed with increasing age. The response latency also increased with age.
