To improve the knowledge on hen’s physiology and egg’s biology, the team interests focus on the physiological mechanisms that are involved in egg formation and biological functions of its compounds during embryonic development. The study of various factors likely to affect positively or negatively egg quality and physiology/health of the hen, allows us to propose tools to improve rearing conditions of animals and ethics of laying hen’s production, and to control both the quality table eggs and that of fertilised eggs that are required to produce broilers and layers.
