FIGURE 23.5 Effect of feeding captive male ring-necked pheasant (Ph. colchicus) young a high- or low-protein feed for the first three weeks of life on the expression of wattle coloration (mean+SE) at 20 (open circles) and 40 (filled circles) weeks of age. Coloration was determined using a principal components analysis (PCA) of tristimulus scores (hue, saturation, and brightness) obtained with a Colortron II reflectance spectrophotometer.

Studies with 2,3,7,8-TCDD and various life stages of the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) by Nosek and co-workers (Nosek et al. 1992a, 1992b, 1993) showed several trends ... 

Embryo mortality is the most sensitive sign of 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxicity in the ring-necked pheasant pheasant embryos were more sensitive to 2,3,7,8-TCDD than were embryos of the eastern bluebird (,Sialia sialia), but less sensitive than embryos of the domestic chicken (Gallus sp.).
