The transgenerational effects of low protein diets on broiler breeders KU Leuven
The question arises whether the nutritional programming in avian species is also transmitted to the next generations and whether this is regulated by the same mechanisms as it is in mammals. Therefore, we aim to study whether the nutritional status of the broiler grandparent hens has a transgenerational effect on programming, at a physiological, transcriptomic and epigenetic level.
We will create two groups of hens in the F0 ...
