A Body weight (kg). B Organ weight (g). C Organ index (%). D Serum liver function index (U/L). E Food intake (g). Each symbol represents averaged daily food intake per hen measured every week over a 19-week period (triangles and circles represent two different repetitions). F Representative photomicrographs of liver tissues with H&E staining (Scale bars = 200 µm) and Phenotype picture. G Hepatic lipid levels (mg/g liver). H Serum lipid levels (mmol/L). I The relative expression of genes related to lipid metabolism in the liver tissues. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM; n = 7–10 hens per group. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by the LSD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
