Effects of in ovo injection of nicotinamide riboside on high-yield broiler myogenesis.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of in ovo injection of high-yield broiler embryos with nicotinamide riboside (NR) on pectoralis major muscle (PMM) development, growth, and gene expression. Fertilized Cobb 700 broiler eggs were randomly assigned to one of four treatments within a 2 × 2 factorial design. Factor 1 consisted of NR dose (DOS) with eggs receiving 0 or 2.5 mM NR. Factor 2 consisted of injection location (LOC), with treatments injected into either the yolk sac or albumen. At day 10 of incubation, 100 μL of the assigned NR dose was injected into the yolk sac of the developing embryo and chicks were euthanized within 24 h of hatching. Chick PMM and individual fiber morphometrics, and expression of genes associated with cell cycle progression were analyzed. T
