“…In fact, the chicken has an acute sense oftaste (Kare et al 1957) though it does not correspond exactly with that of humans (Balog and Millar 1989). The existence of taste in the chicken has been established by their negative responses to some flavours (Kare et al-1957 In the preliminary experiment, the broiler chicks accepted all stevia diets, and the weight gains were not negativaly affected by the different concentrations ofstevia in the diets during this 7-d trial.…”

“…In preference tests, saccharin, in concentrations of 0.001-0.01 M, is least preferred or moderately rejected compared to the natural sugars in both young and mature chickens (Engelmann, 1934(Engelmann, , 1937aKare et al, 1957;Jacobs & Scott, 1957).…”

“…Choice of stimuli was based on a comparison of those substances found to be effective in chicken studies on taste reactivity (e.g., Gentle & Harkin, 1979;Vince, 1977), taste preference (e.g., Engelmann, 1937b;Kare, Black, & Allison, 1957), and taste electrophysiology (e.g., Gentle, 1984;Kadono, Okado, & Ohno, 1966). Chemicals were of reagent grade and double distilled water was a stimulus and the solvent.…”

Freely-moving, posthatch chicks were individually presented 2 concentrations each of quinine, citric acid, fructose, sucrose, sodium saccharin, and distilled water and their behavioral reactions were videotaped and analyzed. Already during the first posthatch day distinct rejection responses to quinine and citric acid could be recognized. Prolonged head shaking and beak clapping episodes were the most dominant features of these reactions. While responses to water and sweet stimuli could be interpreted as acceptance behaviors, the resolution was generally not fine enough to discriminate between reactions to the 2 different sweet concentrations of these stimuli or between them and water. When only water or sugar solutions were presented to other hatchlings in a single session, there was a suggestion of more definite acceptance behavior to some sweet stimuli as compared to water. It is concluded that the systems mediating aversive gustatory responses are present and functioning in posthatching chicks while acceptance responses, though present, are less discriminative among stimuli.

“…Hens present low flavor perception because they have a reduced number of taste buds (approximately 300), and they do not have taste receptors on the tongue and palate to allow them discriminating toxic substances (Macari et al, 2002). Palatability, strictly speaking, refers to a sense measured by taste buds, however, it includes smell, taste, chemical sense, touch, pressure, and it may also be influenced by temperature, color and previous experience of the bird (Kare et al, 1956). In this paper, the strong and characteristic chlorine odor may have contributed to water consumption restriction by poultry, at levels above 5ppm.…”

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of different levels of chlorine in drinking water of laying hens on zootechnical performance, eggs shell quality, hemogasometry levels and calcium content in tibia. 144 HyLine laying hens, 61 weeks old, were used distributed in 24 metabolism cages. They were subjected to water diets, for a period of 28 days, using sodium hypochlorite as a chlorine source in order to obtain the following concentrations: 5ppm (control), 20ppm, 50ppm, and 100ppm. Their performance was evaluated through water consumption, feed intake, egg production and weight, egg mass, feed conversion. Shell quality was measured by specific gravity. At the end of the experiment, arterial blood was collected for blood gas level assessment and a poultry of each replicate was sacrificed to obtain tibia and calcium content measurement. There was a water consumption reduction from 20ppm of chlorine and feed intake reduction in poultry receiving water with 100ppm of chlorine. The regression analysis showed that the higher the level of chlorine in water, the higher the reduction in consumption. There were no differences in egg production and weight, egg mass, feed conversion, specific gravity, tibia calcium content, and hemogasometry levels (hydrogenionic potential, carbon dioxide partial pressure, oxygen partial pressure, sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, carbon dioxide total concentration, anion gap and oxygen saturation). The use of levels above 5ppm of chlorine is not recommended in the water of lightweight laying hens.
