Early weaning in pigeons (Columba Livia domestica): effects on squabs performance and reproductive performance of parents
Abstract Background Artificial hatching and early artificial feeding of squabs can potentially reduce pigeon rearing costs, shorten breeding cycles, and enhance overall productivity. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of early weaning on growth performance, feed consumption, paren...
