Chicken ovarian follicles morphology and growth differentiation factor 9 gene expression in chicken ovarian follicles: review
Victoria Rankotsan Hlokoe, Thobela Louis Tyasi, Busisiwe Gunya
Abstract
gene expression is mainly throughout follicular growth and it stimulates the proliferation of pre-hierarchical granulosa cells. The increased egg production in chickens depends on progressive developmental stages and the growth of ovarian follicles.
