Transportation increases circulating corticosterone levels and decreases central serotonergic activity in a sex dependent manner in Pekin ducks
Previous studies from our lab suggest that transportation of early adulthood ducks can have long lasting physiological effects. To better understand how transportation affects the ducks’ physiology, we evaluated several central and peripheral parameters. Thirty-six, 23-week-old ducks were collected...
