Understanding Transcriptomic and Serological Differences between Forced Molting and Natural Molting in Laying Hens. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2021
Molting is natural adaptation to climate change in all birds, including chickens. Forced molting (FM) can rejuvenate and reactivate the reproductive potential of aged hens, but the effect of natural molting (NM) on older chickens is not clear. To explore why FM has a dramatically different effect on chickens compared with NM, the transcriptome analyses

Analysis of excreta bacterial community after forced molting in aged laying hens [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Objective As laying hens become aged, laying performance and egg quality are generally impaired. One of the practical methods to rejuvenate production and egg quality of aged laying hens with decreasing productivity is a forced molting.
