Anatomical Study on Domestical Fowl (Gallus domesticus) Reproductive System
Lately, researchers have taken into consideration studies on birds since they represent an excellent nutritional source. There are several classical descriptions of the male reproductive tract, always aiming at establishing a correlation with shape, testicular size, age and sexual maturity. This stu...
