Effects of different stocking densities on tracheal barrier function and its metabolic changes in finishing broilers

In the present study, we evaluated the effects of various stocking densities on the tracheal barrier and plasma metabolic profiles of finishing broilers. We randomly assigned 1,440 Lingnan Yellow feathered broilers (age 22 d) to 5 different stocking density groups (8 m−2, 10 m−2, 12 m−2, 14 m−2, and...
