摘要
This study examined the influence of feeding frequency on the morphology of the reproductive tract in broiler breeder hens, with a focus on the liver, ovary, and oviduct. A total of 364 hens and 52 roosters, starting at 31 wk of age and continuing until the end of their 38th week, were divided into 13 groups with varying feeding frequencies (1, 2, or 3 times daily). Significant changes in reproductive and metabolic parameters were observed, where feeding hens twice or thrice daily resulted in significantly reduced ovary weight and follicle counts (P P < 0.001), while liver weight increased (P P < 0.05). These findings suggesting complex interactions between feeding practices and reproductive efficiency.
