ENHANCEMENT OF DEVELOPMENT OF OVIPAROUS SPECIES BY i IN OVO /i FEEDING OF ENTERIC MODULATORS

摘要

The development and growth of oviparous species such as birds is enhanced by in ovo administration of an enteric modulator such as HMB. The enteric modulator is administered into the amnion, where it is then orally ingested by the subject. The enteric modulator enhances the enteric development of the subject prior to hatch, and enhances the growth of the animal before and after hatch.
