Conclusion: According to these results, it seems that the histamine receptor H2, feed and water consumption of poultry (broiler) does not work.}, keywords = {Broiler,Feed intake,Hunger and satiety,Famotidine,Histamine H2 receptor}, url = {https://www.ijabbr.com/article_7086.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijabbr.com/article_7086_a7405da4ced48ff7e5d7d18e738e8a2c.pdf} }
