The pattern of duck sternal ossification and the changes of histological structure and gene expression therein

ABSTRACT: As the largest single bone, avian sterna are very different from those of mammals in terms of morphology and functions. Moreover, years of artificial selection in poultry led to incomplete sternal ossification at slaughter age, which may cause diseases, sternal injury, and restriction to b...
