Maternal dietary energy levels affected the lipid deposition of offspring embryos at the end of the laying period of broiler breeder hens

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the embryonic lipid deposition in yolk, embryo serum and tissues during the late laying period of Arbor Acres broiler breeder hens fed diets (21–60 weeks) with different levels of ME, 2.80 Mcal/kg (ND), 2.24 Mcal/kg (LD20) and 1.96 Mcal/kg (LD30) in a complete...
