Abstract

With the intensification of poultry production, there has been a series of problems arise during the development of poultry feathers, such as developmental retardation, rough feathers, abnormal losing of feathers, and dry feathers. The feather problem has a negative influence on the appearance of their living bodies and the quality of their carcasses, causing considerable economic losses. Here we described the types of fowl feathers, the basic structure of follicles, the development and regeneration of feathers, and the roles of specific molecular pathway that influence the growth of feather. This review aimed to provide a theoretical reference for the regulation of feather quality and the improvement of the commercial characteristics of poultry.
