Effect of a free-range raising system on growth performance, carcass yield, and meat quality of slow-growing chicken.

29 Sep 2009 Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of free-range raising systems on growth performance, carcass yield, and meat quality of slow-growing chickens. Slow-growing female chickens, Gushi chickens, were selected as the experimental birds. ... Read more...
