Dietary <i>Eucommia ulmoides</i> Extract Alleviates the Effect of Cold Stress on Chick Growth Performance, Antioxidant and Immune Ability
This study aimed to investigate the protective value of <i>Eucommia ulmoides</i> extract (EUE) on chicks under cold stress. A total of 21 compounds were identified in EUE using mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Ninety chicks were divided into a control group (CS) fed a basal diet and an experim...
