Ovulation is a complicated physiological process that is regulated by a multitude of different pathways. In comparison to mammalian studies, there are few reports of ovulation in Muscovy ducks, and the molecular mechanism of ovarian development remained unclear. In order to identify candidate genes and metabolites related to Muscovy duck follicular ovulation, the study combined Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) full-length transcriptome and metabolomics to analyze the differences in gene expression and metabolite accumulation in the ovaries between pre-ovulation (PO) and consecutive ovulation (CO) Muscovy ducks. 83 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were identified using metabolomics analysis, 33 of which are related to lipids. Combined with data from previous transcriptomic analyses found that DEGs and DAMs were particularly enriched in processes including the regulation of glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway, arachidonic acid metabolic pathway and the steroid biosynthetic pathway. In summary, the novel potential mechanisms that affect ovulation in Muscovy ducks may be related to lipid metabolism, and the findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of ovulation in waterfowl and will contribute to a better understanding of changes in the waterfowl ovarian development regulatory network.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis regulates egg laying through control hormones secretion in poultry. In this study, the serum hormones (12 samples per stage), serum biochemical indexes (12 samples per stage), and ovarian metabolites (8 samples per stage) of Muscovy breeder ducks were detected at prelaying stage (PT), start of laying stage (ST), high laying stage (HT), and the end of laying stage (ET). The serum hormones of Muscovy ducks were measured at 8:00, 13:00, 18:00, 23:00, and 4:00 within 1 d.

Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a member of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family, is a multifunctional cytokine. The maturation-to-ovulation process of poultry follicles is determined by granulosa cell proliferation and differentiation. Granulosa cell apoptosis and degeneration lead to follicular atresia, which reduces the number of normally developing follicles and leads to a decrease in the poultry egg production rate, thus affecting the large-scale development of poultry breeding.

Article Synopsis
- * The study measured the expression levels of MAP3K8 in reproductive versus non-reproductive tissues of high and low egg-producing ducks and found it was significantly higher in the oviduct compared to other tissues.
- * Seven SNPs were identified in the MAP3K8 gene, with two specific variations linked to traits like the number of eggs produced by 300 days and 59 weeks, suggesting that MAP3K8 could be used as a molecular marker for improving egg production through selective breeding.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on understanding ovulation mechanisms in Muscovy ducks, an area that has limited research compared to mammals.
- Researchers used Oxford Nanopore Technologies to generate transcriptome data from different groups of female duck ovaries based on their ovulation patterns (preovulation, consecutive ovulation, and inconsecutive ovulation).
- The analysis identified over 24,000 full-length transcripts and highlighted key genes and pathways—such as CTNNB1, IGF1, and the mTOR pathway—that may play significant roles in regulating ovulation, contributing valuable data for future genetic and breeding studies to enhance reproduction in Muscovy ducks.
