Influence of stocking density on welfare indices of broilers

Influence of stocking density on welfare indices of broilers

<p>The current study was conducted to identify the influence of short-term (five days) high stocking density (SD) on broilers' welfare by assessing several thermophysiological parameters in 32 birds of 43 days of age Ross male broiler chickens. Based on broiler's body weight, broiler...
