Project Details

Description

Among the broader merits of these studies will be the development of a working model describing the process of 'ovarian follicle selection' in birds. Mechanisms regulating selection and differentiation are directly related to determining clutch size, thus seasonal reproductive potential. Data generated from the avian model system are expected to predict cellular mechanisms and the the role of energy balancethat regulate clutch size, and causes of multiple ovulations and ovarian dysfuction in broiler breeder hens.
