Identification of key genes and molecular mechanisms associated with low egg production of broiler breeder hens in ad libitum

Abstract Background Overfeeding reduces laying performance in broiler breeder hens, which is associated with obesity, hepatic steatosis and systemic inflammation. To unravel the underlying mechanisms governing the effect of feeding regimes on energy metabolism and egg production, a transcriptomics a...
