Abstract
Post-renal absorption of NaCl and water plays an important role in osmoregulation of terrestrial, seed-eating birds, especially during dehydration and NaCl depletion (see Skadhauge 1973, p. 53, Skadhauge 1981, p. 100-112). NaCl-loading reduces cloacal absorption of salt and water, as observed both in vivo (Rice & Skadhauge 1982a, Skadhauge 1967, Thomas & Skadhauge 1979) and in vitro in the domestic fowl (Choshniak et al. 1977, Lind et al. 1980, Thomas et al. 1980).
