Integrated transcriptomic hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis network analysis reveals the role of energy availability on egg production in layers by Jianling Peng, Yong Cui, Haiping Liang, Shenyijun Xu, Linjian Weng, Meng Ru, Ramlat Ali, Qing Wei, Jiming Ruan, Jianzhen Huang

“…Each treatment consisted of 10 replicates with 3 birds per replicate. The study found that energy deprivation significantly decreased reproductive performance such as egg laying rate, ovarian index, number of small yellow follicles (SYF), and normal hierarchical follicles (NHIE) (P < 0.05), which recovered after refeeding, indicating the importance of energy availability for sustained ovulation in layers. …”
