The Effects of Dewinging on Chick Growth and Laying House Performance of Experimental White Leghorns
IS IT economically possible to secure more meat and/or eggs from the domestic fowl by surgically removing all or most of the wings? Some poultry research workers have apparently found positive answers to this question. Kondo et al. (1958) reported an increase in edible thigh and breast meat of 13.9...
