Abstract
In avian species, the central nervous system orchestrates feeding behavior through intricate interplay among diverse neurotransmitter pathways. Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), a key peptide in cell growth and repair, has been implicated in appetite control in mammals, but its role in avian species remains unexplored. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of central infusion of EGF on food consumption in neonatal broilers and to determine the possible involvement of dopaminergic and adrenergic systems. In a series of experiments, 5-day-old male broilers were subjected to intr
