Pigeon milk is fed to young pigeons by both their parents. This thesis described the genetic basis of pigeon milk production in the crop and also its effect on young chickens. This revealed that pigeon milk has functional similarities to mammalian milk, and bioactives with future potential in poultry production were identified.
