Due to the intensive development of novel biopharming applications, there is a need for the in vitro verification models prior to in vivo testing. Laying hen has been already applied as an animal bioreactor to produce the therapeutical enzyme in a rare disease called lysosomal acid lipase deficiency. In this study, we aimed to verify how the proteome of the transfected oviduct epithelial cells would be affected by genetic nonviral modification with the human exogene.

In this study, we analyzed 7 poultry probiotics ( - B1 and B4, - B3, - B2, - B5, - B6, - B7) and 12 prebiotics, differing in chemical composition and source of origin (fungi, algae, animal, etc.).

On the twelfth day of embryonic incubation, 1200 fertile eggs were divided into synbiotic groups injected with 2 mg/embryo (T1) and 3 mg/embryo (T2), a saline group injected with physiological saline and an uninjected control group (C). After hatching, 120 male chicks/group were reared and chicks from the saline group were supplemented with the synbiotic via drinking water (T3).
