[ 1 ] - Comparative study on the beneficial effects of different dark-length schedules on the incidence of ascites and metabolic parameters in fast growing broiler chickens

BACKGROUND: Increasing of oxygen consumption in fast-growing broiler chickens is associated with the more pronounced occurrence of right ventricular hypertrophy and ascites. While, rearing of susceptible chickens in dark condition could reduce the metabolic rate of birds and hence the incidence of ascites. OBJECTIVES: The present study was designed to investigate a comparative study on the inf...
