Transversal gene expression panel to evaluate intestinal health in broiler chickens in different challenging conditions

Abstract There is a high interest on gut health in poultry with special focus on consequences of the intestinal diseases, such as coccidiosis and C. perfringens-induced necrotic enteritis (NE). We developed a custom gene expression panel, which could provide a snapshot of gene expression variation u...
