Metabolism during the embryonic stage, particularly liver lipid metabolism, is essential for the growth and development of poultry. This study aimed to investigate the effects of embryo thermal manipulation with high (TMH, 39.5 \u00b0C, 65% RH, 8\u00a0h\/d) and low (TML, 20 \u00b0C, 65% RH, 1\u00a0h\/d) temperatures during 8th to 15th embryonic age on hatching performance and liver lipid metabolism in layer chicks. Additionally, the duration of TM effects was evaluated through a short-term feeding trial. The results indicated that TMH accelerated the hatching process without significantly affecting hatchability and growth performance. In contrast, TML delayed hatching time and significantly reduced hatchability and chick quality. After hatching, TML also increased residual yolk weight and reduced the relative liver weight in relation to body weight and yolk-free body mass. Moreover, lipid droplets in the liver were stained with Oil Red O, and the lipid content in the liver and serum was further detected. TMH had no significant impact on triglyceride (TG) and total-cholesterol (TCHO) content in the liver and serum but upregulated the expression of lipogenesis-related genes ACC, Fas, and Fatp1 compared to the TML group. Conversely, TML significantly reduced liver TG content, enhanced lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, and promoted the expression of lipid oxidation-related genes CPT-1, PGC-1\u03b1, and PPAR\u03b1. At 7 d of age, liver LPL activity was significantly increased in the TMH group. However, there were no significant changes in the content of TG and TCHO in the liver and the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes in the TML group. Overall, these results indicate that embryonic TM alters hatching performance and liver lipid metabolism in layer chicks. TML reduces TG content by increasing liver lipid oxidation capacity. However, this effect is not long-lasting, as the influence of TM diminishes as the chicks develop.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skae242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,13]],"date-time":"2024-09-13T03:43:45Z","timestamp":1726199025000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Embryo thermal manipulation modifies development and hepatic lipid metabolism in post-hatch layer-type chicks"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"102","author":[{"given":"Sheng","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Livestock Environmental Control and Smart Production, College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University , Nanjing 210095 , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuyan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Livestock Environmental Control and Smart Production, College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University , Nanjing 210095 , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siyu","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Livestock Environmental Control and Smart Production, College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University , Nanjing 210095 , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoqing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Livestock Environmental Control and Smart Production, College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University , Nanjing 210095 , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guofeng","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Livestock Environmental Control and Smart Production, College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University , Nanjing 210095 , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zilin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Livestock Environmental Control and Smart Production, College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University , Nanjing 210095 , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunmei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Livestock Environmental Control and Smart Production, College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University , Nanjing 210095 , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024091213040331400_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2427","DOI":"10.3382\/ps\/pew193","article-title":"Periodical low eggshell temperatures during incubation and post hatch dietary arginine supplementation: effects on performance and cold tolerance acquisition in broilers","volume":"95","author":"Afsarian","year":"2016","journal-title":"Poult.
