The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different stocking densities on the organ development, blood biochemical indices, and antioxidative status of breeder pigeons during the rearing period. A total of 280 (half male and half female) 40-day-old young pigeons were...

The purpose of this paper was to study the suitable stocking density of meat geese under the net bed rearing mode by measuring changes in liveweight and the concentration of ammonia in the goose shed under different stocking densities. A total of 800 female Magang geese were selected and divided...

This study was performed to investigate the effects of stocking density on performance, meat quality and tibia development in Pekin ducks reared on a plastic wire floor. A total of 372 healthy, 21-day-old, male ducks with similar body weight (BW) were randomly allotted to stocking densities of five ...

Stocking density, representing a potential source of long-term stress, is widely recognized as a critical factor in aquaculture husbandry. Atlantic salmon were reared at low-density (LSD, ∼9.80-18.41 kg m^-3, initial to final density), medium-density (MSD, ∼19.62-36.96 kg m^-3) and high-density (HSD, ...

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effects of stocking density on the immune function and oxidative stress levels of Peking ducks reared on a plastic wire-floor from the ages of 22 to 42 days in a duck farm belonging to the Beijing Jinxing Duck industry Company. A total of 310 male...

A 127 day growth trial was conducted to investigate the impact of stocking density on growth performance and metabolism of the lenok (Brachymystax lenok). Juvenile lenok were stocked in triplicate at 4 initial densities (0.74, 1.53, 3.15, and 6.11 kg m^-3). Samples were taken at days 30, 60, 97 and...

In order to examine the effects of stocking density on growth, food intake, energy budget, and expression levels of related genes of the abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino, specimens (mean±standard error shell length: 36.25±1.97 mm, weight: 6.88±0.71 g) were cultured at four different stocking...

Atlantic salmon Salmo salar were reared at four stocking densities - high density D₁ (final density ∼39 kg/m³), medium densities D₂ (∼29 kg/m³) and D₃ (∼19 kg/m³), and low density D₄ (∼12 kg/m³) - for 40 days to investigate the effect of stocking density on their growth performance, body...

The impacts of stocking density (5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 ind./ml) and alga species on larval growth, survival and metamorphosis were investigated in surf clam Mactra veneriformis at 22.8-24.6°C, salinity 24-25, and pH 7.82-8.36 from June to August in 2008. The results showed that the larvae had...

This study aimed to assess oxidative stress and microbiota in pigs at different stocking densities. Markers for oxidative stress were investigated and gut bacteria identified. The pigs were randomly assigned to high-, medium- or low-density groups. The results showed that the superoxide dismutase...
