Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis of E17 embryonic pectoral muscle development regulated by 1 % CO₂ during the first 10 days of incubation.

ABSTRACT: Maintaining CO₂ concentration at 1 % during the first 10 days of incubation represents a potential strategy for enhancing hatch quality. However, the effects of this specific CO₂ regulation strategy on embryonic skeletal muscle development have not yet been systematically evaluated. In this study, 400 fertilized Wod 188 broiler eggs were randomly divided into control and treatment groups. The control group was maintained under normal ventilation, with no CO₂ introduced. The treatment group maintained the 1 % CO₂ concentration using dynamic carbon dioxide supplementation during the first 10 days of incubation. For the remainder of the incubation period, CO₂ was not introduced, and normal ventilation was maintained. Phenotypic analysis revealed that 1 % CO₂ regulation d
