The hematopoietic function, histological characteristics, and transcriptome profiling of Wanxi white geese ovary during nesting and late-laying stages.

ABSTRACT: Despite several factors influencing reproduction in geese, but the precise molecular mechanisms of egg cessation are not fully understood. In the present study, the hematopoietic parameters and serum hormone levels in Wanxi white geese were analyzed. RNA-Seq was utilized to identify the differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) and lncRNAs (DE lncRNAs) in the ovarian tissues associated with nesting in geese during the late-laying and nesting periods. Triglyceride (TG) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were higher in late-laying geese, while white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil (NEU), hemoglobin (HGB), and hematocrit (HCT) levels were significantly lower in late-laying geese. Serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen (E2), and progesterone (P4) increased significantly during the late
