Abstract
Research of the feathers during the period of moult, with particular regard to iodine and selenium storage. Experimental induction of moult with thyroxine (T4) concerning the budgerigar and pheasant. Subsequent treatment of the budgerigars (after previously administering T4) as well as of controls with thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). Histological and histochemical study of the skin, endocrine system and immune system, with regard to their reaction to treatment. Determination of the environmental plumage contamination with elements in the free living birds.
