The dissertation was tagged as ((The protective role of nanoscale and organic selenium in some physiological and reproductive characteristics of laying hens during forced molting)) and it submitted by Maryam Qusai Saeed.
The study aimed to reduce the economic losses in laying chicken flocks and reduce the period of their passage through molting by causing compulsory molting using corn grits with the possibility of using nano and organic selenium to improve most of the physiological and reproductive characteristics in laying hens.
