Effects of Caponization on Expression of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone-I and Gonadotropin Subunits Genes in Roosters

We evaluated the effects of caponization on mRNA levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-I (GnRH-I), gonadotropin subunit and other hypothalamic and hypophyseal peptide genes in male chicken. Thirty roosters (25 d) with similar weight were equally divided into the experimental (capons) and control...
