Intestinal and uterine calcium-binding protein in laying hens during different stages of egg formation.
Intestinal and uterine calcium binding protein (CaBP) was measured in hens during egg shell calcification, or uterine inactivity, using an immunoassay technique. No changes in CaBP level were detected in either organ, even when the uterine inactivity continued as long as 17 hours.
