The effects of simulated transport on the muscle characteristics of white-feathered end-of-cycle hens

ABSTRACT: Transportation of end-of-cycle hens (EOCH) may result in birds’ experiencing metabolic stress, which changes muscle characteristics. This study evaluated the impacts of simulated transport on muscle characteristics of white-feathered EOCH (65–70 wk). The factorial arrangement included trea...
