Investigating the correlation between phenotypes, adrenal transcriptome, and serum metabolism in laying ducks exhibiting varying behaviours under the same stressor.

Abstract excerpt

Laying ducks in cage environments face various stressors, including the fear of novelty, which negatively affects their behaviour and performance. The reasons behind the variation in behaviour under identical stress conditions are not well understood. This study investigated how different behaviours affect production performance, immune response, antioxidant capabilities, adrenal gene expression, and serum...
