In ovo injection of betaine promotes adrenal steroidogenesis in pre-hatched chicken fetuses
ABSTRACT: Corticosterone is critical for the maturation and survival of chicken fetus around hatching. Betaine is used as a feed additive in poultry industry to promote growth and mitigate stress. However, it remains unknown whether betaine could affect adrenal corticosterone synthesis in pre-hatchi...
