The effects of broiler breeder diet supplementation of canthaxanthin and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and age on offspring performance traits and innate immune function
DownloadSpring 2018
Experiments were conducted to understand the effect of dietary canthaxanthin (CXN) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD3) on broiler breeder productivity, progeny performance traits and progeny innate immune function. Beginning at 22 wk of age, breeder hens were fed either 1) Control (Vitamin D3 at...
