Interaction Between Cecal Metabolites and Liver Lipid Metabolism Pathways During Induced Molting in Laying Hens.

ABSTRACT: Moult is a normal physiological phenomenon in poultry. Induced molting (IM) is the most widely used and economical molting technique. By inducing moult, the laying hens can grow new feathers during the next laying cycle and improve laying performance. However, the lack of energy supply has a huge impact on both the liver and intestines and acts on the intestines and liver through the "gut-liver axis". More importantly, lipid metabolism in the liver is closely related to the laying performance of laying hens. Therefore, in this study, cecal metabolites and liver transcriptome data during IM of laying hens at the late stage of laying (stop feeding method) were analyzed together to reveal the regulatory mechanism of "gut-liver axis" affecting the laying performance of laying hens from the per
