Effect of the dietary supplementation with extracts of chestnut wood and grape pomace on performance and jejunum response in female and male broiler chickens at different ages

Table 6 Number of significantly upregulated and downregulated differentially expressed genes (Fold change ≥ 2; False Discovery Rate ≤ 0.05) in the jejunum of male or female broiler chickens fed the experimental diets at 15 or 35 days of age

Comparison	Number of up-regulated genes	Number of down-regulated genes	Total DEGs
Female chickens at 15 d
CN diet vs. C diet	7	8	15
GP diet vs. C diet	14	18	32
Male chickens at 15 d
CN diet vs. C diet	7	7	14
GP diet vs. C diet	21	10	31
Female chickens at 35 d
CN diet vs. C diet	18	12	30
GP diet vs. C diet	197	74	271
Male chickens at 35 d
CN diet vs. C diet	8	8	16
GP diet vs. C diet	2	4	6

DEGs differentially expressed genes. C, control diet. CN, control diet supplemented with 0.2% chestnut wood extracts. GP, control diet supplemented with 0.2% grape pomace extracts
