Abstract

Muscle potentials evoked by proximal and distal tibial nerve stimulation were evaluated and used to calculate motor nerve conduction velocity in 65 chickens. Two potentials analogous to the M and F waves recorded in persons consistently were evoked. The mean tibial motor nerve conduction velocity +/- SD of the birds was 32.3 +/- 4.0 m/s. This value varied significantly (P less than 0.05) with both age and cloacal temperature.
