Impact of comb type on production performance, egg production quality, reproductive performance, and blood biochemical indexes in Tianfu chickens by Yuxin Zhou, Hengyong Xu, Wei Du, Yuxiang Lu, Zhi Hu, Qingqing Deng, Xi Wang, Yiping Liu, Yao Zhang, Yan Wang

“…In roosters, single-comb had higher germ cell counts, thicker seminiferous epithelium, and better semen quality, leading to improved fertilization rates and hatchability. These findings suggest that comb type influences both reproductive and production traits in Tianfu G01 chickens, with rose-comb favoring egg production and single-comb favoring egg weight and survival.…”
