Positive Impact of Thermal Manipulation During Embryogenesis on Foie Gras Production in Mule Ducks

Animal studies have shown that very early life events may have programing effects on adult metabolism and health. In this study, we aim, for the first, time to elucidate the effects of embryonic thermal manipulation (TM) on the performance of overfed mule ducks, in particular for the production of f...
