Effects of feeding frequency on the growth, body composition and SOD, GPX and HSP70 gene expression in Schizothorax wangchiachii

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of different feeding frequencies on the growth, feed utilization, body composition, and immune and stress responses of Schizothorax wangchiachii to determine the optimal feeding frequency and provide a scientific basis for S. wangchiachii fee...
