Qualitative and quantitative observations were made on two monkeys with unilateral or bilateral removals of areas 5 and 7 of Brodmann. The task was to return to the home cage in the light or in the dark. Both animals were slower in the dark, and also qualitatively abnormal in the light.

Rat pups with histories of intergenerational malnutrition were rehabilitated by cross-fostering at birth to well-nourished females. These pups weighed slightly less than well-nourished controls but significantly more than pups reared by malnourished females. Rehabilitated and control pups were both more active than malnourished pups reared by malnourished females. However, the percentage of nest returns by pups displaced to other parts of the cage was low among rehabilitated pups as compared with controls, but did not differ from that of pups with histories of intergenerational malnutrition reared by malnourished females. These data suggest that, although activity is a product of postnatal condition, home-orienting behavior is affected by a history of intergenerational malnutrition regardless of rehabilitation.

Airborne transmission of turkey herpesvirus (HVT) between chickens was studied in two trials using an experimental line of White Leghorns. HVT either did not spread or spread poorly to chickens that had been exposed for 8 weeks to the exhaust air from a cage containing donor chickens inoculated with HVT at 8 weeks of age. There was no airborne transmission of HVT to chickens that had been exposed for 4 weeks. This study indicated a possible by an infrequent spread of HVT between chickens via airborne route.

We did not detect cell-free Herpesviurs saimiri (HVS) in the oropharyngeal secretions of owl monkeys with leukemia or lymphoma induced by this virus. These animals failed to transmit either virus or disease to their uninoculated cage-mates or room-mates. Comparison of oropharyngeal secretions of HVS from owl monkeys and squirrel monkeys may provide insight as to how human herpesviruses are maintained in the oropharynx.

Two groups of infant baboons were observed. The breast-fed group was housed in a gang cage with nursing mothers (n = 13) and the other motherless group was in a wire-cage nursery habitat (n = 20). Differences in behavior due to gender and environment were tested by analysis of variance. The results do not support the hypothesis that innate sex differences exist in baboons aged 0-3 months. Nursery-reared subjects had significantly higher scores for rough-and-tumble play, stereotypy, threat, avoid, explore, high tension, and nonaggressive social behaviors, but these behaviors are not significantly different between sexes in either groups.

Three experiments were designed to test the efficacy of salinomycin and stenorol against infection by various Eimeria species on cage reared broiler type chicks. Efficacy was based on a coccidial index. Sixty parts per million salinomycin alone or in combination with 50 ppm 3 nitro significantly improved the index over basal treatments or when 3 nitro was used alone. The differences in index values recorded for coban and salinomycin were not significant. Stenorol significantly improved the index and appeared to be a most effective anticoccidial product. Broiler chickens reared in floor pens to 8 weeks showed a significant reduction in weight gain when the diet contained salinomycin +3 nitro or coban. Stenorol at 3, 6, or 9 ppm reduced body weight, with linear regression for this effect being highly significant (P less than .01). No coccidiosis was observed.

Rats were injected stereotactically in mesencephalon with 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) in the medial 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) pathway (n = 8) and in the medial plus the lateral 5-HT pathways (n = 7) or injected with vehicle (n = 8), or sham-operated (n = 8). The 5,7-DHT lesions reduced the in vitro 3H-5-HT uptake in the hypothalamus and the cortex cerebri to 27-51% of control values, 3H-noradrenaline uptake was not significantly changed. 5,7-DHT lesions of the medial, and of the medial plus the lateral, 5-HT induced mouse killing behavior and increased number of boxing positions in the shock elicited fighting test. Both lesions also reduced the rate of habituation to touch, but only the lesion of the medial plus the lateral 5-HT pathway significantly reduced the rate of habituation to acoustic stimulation. Activity in the home cage was not significantly changed by the lesions. It was concluded that selective chemical lesions of the ascending 5-HT pathways result in prolonged habituation of the orienting response and increase in particular components of agonistic behavior. The increase in locomotor activity observed after electrolytic lesions of nucleus raphe medianus seems not to be due only to lesion of the 5-HT neurons ascending from this nucleus.

The effects of disturbing groups of 24 hr fasted rats on plasma unesterified fatty acid (UFA) and tryptophan concentrations and brain tryptophan concentrations were investigated. Removing rats from cages rapidly increased plasma UFA and corticosterone and decreased plasma and whole blood tryptophan of cage mates. The disturbance also appeared to influence biochemical values of rats in other cages within the same chamber. Effects specific to individual cages were also suggested. In subsequent experiments 24 fasting rats caged together were rapidly transferred to 24 separate cages and killed at intervals. Plasma UFA rose to a maximum by 12 min and then fell toward initial values. Plasma total tryptophan concurrently fell then rose. Its percentage in the free (ultrafilterable) state, and in some experiments the absolute values of free tryptophan rose then fell. When the latter rise was marked then brain tryptophan and the 5-HT metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid rose. Tyrosine changes were negligible. Thus altered brain tryptophan level and 5-HT metabolism may be associated with plasma tryptophan changes caused by brief environmental disturbance.

When the rat mother is permanently removed from her litter at 14-15 days postnatally, weight loss in the pups routinely occurs. We now describe a method by which normal weight gain can be achieved at this age in the absence of the mother. Liquid flowing in a continuous stream down a glass surface in the home cage elicits spontaneous licking from the rat pups. If the liquid is a high fat milk formula, the rat pups maintain normal body weight. They do not maintain normal weight if low fat (bovine) milk is presented in this way or if the high fat milk formula is merely available in a reservoir on the cage floor.
