Immunogenetic basis of chicken’s heterophil to lymphocyte ratio revealed by genome-wide indel variants analysis

Enhancing host immunity is an effective way to reduce morbidity in chickens. Heterophil to lymphocyte ratio (H/L) is associated with host disease resistance in birds. Chickens with different H/L levels show different disease resistances. However, the utility of the H/L as an indicator of immune func...
