We compared the methylation patterns of the jejunum mucosa of two highly selected strains of laying hens, Lohmann Brown-Classic (LB) and Lohmann LSL-Classic (LSL), which had similar egg production but different physiological, metabolic and immunological characteristics. Our sampling included key developmental stages: the pullet stage (10 and 16 weeks old), peak production (24 and 30 weeks old) and late stage (60 weeks old) (n=99; 10 per group), which allowed us to elucidate the temporal dynamics of epigenetic regulation.
