Effects of Microbial Ecology and Intestinal Morphology on Energy Utilization in Adult Cockerels
A series of four experiments were conducted to evaluate whether a preconditioning period, in which adult leghorn cockerels are allowed 3 weeks to adapt to diets containing relatively high levels of guar meal (GM) resulted in changes in digestive tract morphology and ecology. It was expected that the...
