2020-06-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Heterophils are refers to white blood cells with phagocytosis and killing functions in the avian immune system, These cells identify and kill pathogenic microorganisms through precise regulatory mechanisms. As a simple index, the heterophil/lymphocyte ratio (H/L) in the blood reflects the immune system status of chickens. H/L is a complex trait affected by multiple genetic loci, but single nu...
