Methods and systems of promoting fertilization of eggs of an avian. While inseminating a plurality of avian eggs a spectrum substantially concentrated within a narrow range of wavelength irradiates the plurality of inseminated avian eggs to increase the motility of the sperm to increase the probability of conception of avian from the inseminated eggs.

The disclosure provides methods of generating a murine model of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, whereby the generated murine animal exhibits at least one symptom of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis. The disclosure also provides methods to measure transfusion effects on anemia and methods for identifying and isolating an agent useful for the treatment or prevention of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis.

The present invention relates inter alia to improvements in the production of chimaeric antibodies in non-human transgenic vertebrates such as mice and rats bearing one or more chimaeric antibody transgenes. In particular, the invention provides for improved non-human vertebrates and cells in which VpreB has been species-matched with the variable region of the chimaeric antibodies. Also, embodiments also provide for species-matching of the entire surrogate light chain for efficient pairing with chimaeric heavy chains during B-cell development in vivo in a non-human transgenic vertebrate setting.
