Effects of different dietary vitamin D combinations during the grower phase and the feed restriction phase on growth performance and sternal morphology, mineralization, and related genes expression of bone metabolism in Pekin ducks

ABSTRACT: Our study aimed to investigate the effects of different dietary vitamin D (VD) combinations during the grower (1–32 d of age) and feed restriction (33–52 d of age) phases on growth performance. We also evaluated sternal morphology, mineralization, and related genes expression of bone metab...
