Plasma levels of prolactin (Prl) associated with incubation and maternal behavior were compared in turkey hens allowed to incubate 10 fertile eggs (Group I, n = 9) or 10 infertile eggs (Group II, n = 7) in open nest boxes. At the end of the day that the first egg hatched, all unhatched eggs were removed from Group I hens and each hen was given 10 poults. At the end of the following day, infertile eggs were removed from Group II hens and each hen was given 10 poults. Although pipping of the eggs changed the incubation behavior of Group I hens, it had no effect on plasma Prl. Subsequent hatch of the eggs and/or presence of poults resulted, within 24 h, in a sharp fall in Prl levels, abandonment of the nests, and a shift to maternal behavior. Visual and auditory exposure to Group I poults had no effect on plasma Prl or incubation behavior of Group II hens incubating infertile eggs in adjacent pens. However, within 24 h after the infertile eggs were exchanged for newly hatched poults, Prl levels in Group II hens declined sharply and the hens abandoned the nests and showed maternal behavior similar to that observed in Group I hens. No significant relationships were found in either group between plasma Prl levels and quality of incubation or maternal behavior.
