Influence of nutrient density and lighting regime in broiler chickens: Effect on antioxidant status and immune functionFootnotea

^aEditorial note: Ethics. The procedure of obtaining blood by cardiac puncture is not approved in a number of countries, because (except in very young chicks) other methods are equally effective and considered to be less stressful.
