<i>Ad Libitum</i> Feeding in Broiler Breeder Hens Alters the Transcriptome of Granulosa Cells of Pre-Hierarchal Follicles

<i>Ad Libitum</i> Feeding in Broiler Breeder Hens Alters the Transcriptome of Granulosa Cells of Pre-Hierarchal Follicles

Intense selective breeding of chickens has resulted in suboptimal egg production in broiler breeder hens. This reproductive phenotype is exacerbated by <i>ad libitum</i> feeding, which leads to excessive and disorganized follicular growth. One strategy used to improve broiler breeder hen...
