Effects of Probiotics on the Expression and Localization of Avian β-defensins in the Proventriculus of Broiler Chicks

Effects of Probiotics on the Expression and Localization of Avian β-defensins in the Proventriculus of Broiler Chicks

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of probiotics-feeding on the gene expression and protein localization of avian β-defensins (AvBDs) in the proventriculus of broiler chicks.
