Reproductive management of poultry 2020-01-24 .txt text/plain 6827 507 49 Other aspects of reproductive management in poultry include the following: artificial insemination (almost exclusively employed in turkeys) and approaches to reduce broodiness together with cage free (colony), conventional, enriched and free-range systems. Estrogens induce the following: development of the oviduct, production of yolk precursors (VLDL and vitellogenin) (see above) by the liver, production of egg white proteins by the oviduct and, with androgens, formation of medullary bone (a labile source of calcium). 78 These programs not only decrease the feed needs of the broiler breeder but also reduce mortality and increase egg production. In addition to feed restriction, to induce molting in broiler breeder hens, the daylength is decreased to 8L:16D and light intensity is reduced.
