Transcriptome-based analysis of key genes and pathways affecting the linoleic acid content in chickens

Early fecal microbiota transplantation from high abdominal fat chickens affects recipient cecal microbiome and metabolism

“…With the development of breeding technology and nutrition level improvement, the growth and metabolic capacity of modern broiler chickens have rapidly improved but are accompanied by a significant increase in fat deposition that leads to a large amount of body fat deposition in broilers, especially in high-quality chickens (Abdalla et al, 2018). Studies have found that excessive deposition of abdominal fat not only affects the flavor components (Anthony, 1998;Dransfield and Sosnicki, 1999;Zhao et al, 2023) and reduces the taste of chicken, but also seriously reduces the slaughter rate of the fresh market population, reduces feeding efficiency, and increases environmental pollution through the production of large amounts of animal fat waste (Yan et al, 2015;Jiang et al, 2017). Therefore, exploring the OPEN ACCESS EDITED BY Tetyana Falalyeyeva, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine regulatory mechanisms and factors influencing fat deposition in chickens is a research hotspot in this field.…”
