title: Contribution to the aetiology of synovitis in chickens, with special reference to non-infective factors. IV.
abstract: The comparative study reported in the present paper was undertaken to collect data on the collagen content and collagen quality of tendons showing high (low) tensile strength levels and a compact (loose) histological structure. It was shown that tendon tissues of these two groups do not differ in this regard. The effect of administering a number of mutrients (known to be essential in collagenesis) was tested during this study. Administration of these mutrients did not prevent synovitis and did not increase tensile strength.
