Differences in in vitro responses of the hypothalamo–pituitary–gonadal hormonal axis between low- and high-egg-producing turkey hens

Differences in in vitro responses of the hypothalamo–pituitary–gonadal hormonal axis between low- and high-egg-producing turkey hens

Low-egg-producing hens (LEPH) ovulate less frequently than high-egg-producing hens (HEPH) and exhibit differences in mRNA levels for components of the hypothalamo–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis, suggesting differential responsiveness to trophic stimulation. Ovulation frequency is governed by the produ...
