Effects of Free-Range Systems on Muscle Fiber Characteristics and Welfare Indicators in Geese

Effects of Free-Range Systems on Muscle Fiber Characteristics and Welfare Indicators in Geese

Recently, free-range poultry production has increased with notable benefits for animal welfare and meat quality traits. Geese, the third-most productive poultry species, have not been studied extensively. This study investigated the effects of different free-range systems on muscle fiber characteris...
