Abstract: Poultry follicular atresia is a process that regulates follicular degeneration by a variety of mechanisms and is closely related to the reproductive performance of poultry. In recent years,with the rapid development of molecular technology,great progress has been made in the study of follicular atresia caused by apoptosis and autophagy in poultry follicular cells. In this paper,the regulation of apoptosis and autophagy for poultry follicular atresia in poultry follicles are reviewed. Then the significance and problems of follicular cell apoptosis and autophagy caused by follicular atresia are discussed. It provides a theoretical basis for the full utilization and excavation of poultry laying performance through the study of the mechanism of poultry follicle atresia.

Key words: poultry, granulosa cell, apoptosis, autophagy, follicular atresia, regulation mechanism
