Epiphyses of the femura from 8-week-old broiler chicks were examined for morphology using scanning electron microscopy and for elemental composition using energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis. Birds between the ages of 4 and 8 weeks were subjected to either 25 or 35 C environments and given tap or carbonated drinking water. The morphological appearance of the epiphyses was affected by the kind of drinking water but not the thermal environment. Elemental constituents, however, were affected by both environmental temperature and drinking water.
利用扫描电子显微镜检查8周龄肉鸡的股骨骨骺形态，并通过能量色散X射线微分析确定其元素组成。4至8周龄的鸡分别置于25℃或35℃环境中，并提供自来水或碳酸饮用水。骨骺的形态外观受饮用水种类影响，但不受热环境影响。然而，元素成分受环境温度和饮用水两者的影响。
