Effect of Exposure to Operant-Controlled Microwaves on Certain Blood and Immunological Parameters in the Young Chick

Abstract: Twenty-two 1-wk-old broiler chicks (Gallus domesticus) were housed at 16 C and operantly conditioned to activate either a 250-W infrared bulb (control) or a microwave generator delivering 13 mW/cm2 (treated). Plasma corticosterone concentration did not differ between groups (P greater than .05) at 4 wk of age. At that time the birds were killed, and post-mortem examination revealed no treatment differences in gross morphology of the chicks or in weights of spleen and bursa of Fabricius (P greater than .05).

“…Linear and pulsing low-frequency electromagnetic fields (1.5-72 Hz) alter protein synthesis in salivary glands in a manner independent of heat shock effects (Goodman et al, 1983;Goodman and Henderson, 1988). However, the intensities of MW radiation in this study, 6.1 mW cm-2 and 11.4 mW cm-2, have higher heating capacity than the low-frequency electromagnetic radiation and have been used to rewarm hypothermic pigs and other species of domestic animals by raising their core body temperature (Braithwaite et al, 1991(Braithwaite et al, , 1994. An increase in the rectal temperature, used as an indicator of core body temperature, was also reported in rabbits, rhesus monkeys, and rats following MW radiation (Phillips et al, 1975;de Lorge, 1978).…”
