Analysis of the Reliability of Feather Sections for Corticosterone Measurement in Pekin Ducks

Analysis of the Reliability of Feather Sections for Corticosterone Measurement in Pekin Ducks

The aim of this study was to identify the feather section, among the whole feather, rachis, and vane, with the highest reliability for corticosterone measurement in 10 Pekin ducks aged 42 days. In total, 60 samples (i.e., 20 per section) were collected and each section was analyzed in duplicate. Cor...
