Effects of Supplemental Boron on Intestinal Proliferation and Apoptosis in African Ostrich Chicks

Boron is an essential trace element which plays an important role in process of metabolism and the function of the tissues. However, the effects of boron on the intestinal cells in African ostrich chicks are poorly reported. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the role of boron on prol...
