Unusual brain composition in Crested Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos fd)—Including its effect on behavior and genetic transmission
Crested Ducks (CR) occasionally show intracranial fat bodies. Additionally, behavioral
abnormalities such as motor incoordination can be observed. Here, it is shown that a
behavioral test helps to identify CR that have a problematical fat body. The ducks were put
on their backs, and the time required for them to stand up was measured. Ten CR exhibited
suboptimal motor coordination. The appropriateness of this test has been proved in a
special breeding program. To investigate the influence of fat bodies on brain composition …
