Anatomical changes of Akar Putra chicken digestive system after partial ablation of uropygial gland

The current study proposes anatomical changes in the digestive system of 120 Akar Putra chicken after surgical removing of auropygial gland. The experiment comprised of five treatments (24 chicken/treatment), with 3 replicates (8 chicken/replicate). The experimental treatments consist of a control t...

The experiment comprised of five treatments (24 chicken/treatment), with 3 replicates (8 chicken/replicate).
