Abstract:Exposure to increasing concentrations of CO 2 in the first 10 days of incubation may have effects on the development of bird cardiac and respiratory organs. Moreover, the age of breeders can influence hatching performances. This study aimed to investigate the effect of exposure to increasing concentrations of CO 2 in the first 10 days of incubation on the morphophysiological development of the digestive system of embryos and chicks from broiler breeders aged 31 and 41 weeks. A total of 860 fertile eggs from th… Show more
