Transcriptomic profiling of jejunum mucosa of two laying hen strains in response to low dietary Phosphorus. Transcriptomic profiling of jejunum mucosa of two laying hen strains in response to low dietary Phosphorus

This study investigated changes in gut transcriptome in response to the removal and reduction P (0 and 1 g P/kg feed) during the transition to egg production (at 19 and 24 weeks, before and after the onset of laying) in Lohmann Brown (LB) and Lohmann Selected Leghorn (LSL) chickens. A total of 80 LB and LSL hens were sampled in a 2x2x2 factorial design, encompassing two strains, age groups, and dietary.
