Breed- and age-associated variation in hematological parameters and Toll-like receptor 2 gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of commercial and purebred laying hens during the laying cycle
This study evaluated the effects of breed and age on hematological traits and TLR2 gene expression in commercial Lohmann Brown (LB) and purebred White Leghorn (WL) laying hens to improve the understanding of innate immune regulation during different stages of…
