Research activities of the “Biology of the egg and physiology of the hen” team

To deepen our knowledge of hen physiology and egg biology, the team is interested in the physiological mechanisms involved in egg formation and the biological function of its components during embryonic development. The study of various factors that may have a positive or negative impact on egg quality and hen physiology/health will allow us to propose levers to improve the rearing conditions and ethics of laying hen production, and to control the quality of eggs for consumption and fertilized eggs needed for the production of future broilers and layers.
