Evaluating biological alternative material for poultry bedding

Poultry production is widely dispersed across the globe and one of the important issues for growers is the selection of suitable bedding material. Recently, low supplier of the raw material increases the price of bedding material. This study aimed to evaluate the most suitable biological alternative...
