Plasma metabolomic profiling reveals potential onset of lay biomarkers in broiler breeders

ABSTRACT: Changes in the metabolic fingerprint of plasma during the onset of lay in broiler breeders were investigated. We used metabolomics to identify biomarkers of sexual maturity and to provide a comprehensive understanding of breeder metabolome during the pullet to hen transition period. A tota...
