Effects of cage size on the natural behavior, serum parameters, production performance and hypothalamic mRNA expression profiles of laying hens

Effects of cage size on the natural behavior, serum parameters, production performance and hypothalamic mRNA expression profiles of laying hens

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of cage size on the natural behavior, serum biochemistry, production performance and hypothalamic transcriptome profiles of laying hens. A total of 360 79-week-old hens were selected and randomly assigned to three groups (with five replicates e...
