chickens.
Hepatic arachidonate level decreased after 1 h postmortem.
The decreased level of hepatic arachidonate
previously observed in SDS birds was, therefore, associated
with the post-mortem...

effect of dietary fish meal on the incidence of Sudden Death
Syndrome (SDS) in broiler chickens. Growth, feed
efficiency, total mortality and mortality due to SDS were
evaluated. Necropsy examination was performed on broilers
suspected of dying from SDS. Liver lipid and fatty...
