Valgus-varus deformity induced abnormal tissue metabolism, inflammatory damage and apoptosis in broilers

Carcass composition, meat quality, leg muscle status, and its mRNA expression profile in broilers affected by valgus-varus deformity

“…Previously, we performed clinical evaluation of bone morphology, bone quality, serum indicators, and growth performance ( Guo et al, 2019 ). The metabolic status of tissues with age in VVD broilers and its relationship with inflammatory response were investigated ( Li et al, 2022 ). We also analyzed the transcriptome of spleen tissues from normal broilers and VVD broilers to screen for candidate target genes associated with VVD ( Tang et al, 2020 ).…”
