Systemic infusion of exogenous ghrelin in male broiler chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). The effect of pulse frequency, doses, and ghrelin forms on feed intake, average daily gain, corticosterone, and growth hormone concentrations
ABSTRACT: There is limited information on the effect of exogenous ghrelin infusion on feed intake (FI) in chickens.
