Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In ovo stimulation introduces bioactive compounds, such as prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics into incubating eggs to enhance gut health and immune system development in chickens. This study aimed to determine the genetic and environmental effects modulating responses to in ovo stimulation in commercial broilers and Green-legged Partridge-like (GP) native chickens. METHODS: Eggs were stimulated on...
