In ovo Feeding as a Tool for Improving Performance and Gut Health of Poultry: A Review

Early growth and development of the gastrointestinal tract are of critical importance to enhance nutrients' utilization and optimize the growth of poultry. In the current production system, chicks do not have access to feed for about 48–72 h during transportation between hatchery and production...
