Abstract

<p>Taste sense plays an important role in controlling the feeding behavior of animals. Therefore, it is considered that understanding of the taste sensing systems in chickens can contribute to the feed design and feeding strategy in poultry farming. In this paper, we review the current progress of studies for the taste sensing systems in chickens, especially for chicken umami taste sensing. In the series of studies, it has been revealed that chickens have gustatory perception of umami taste, and expression of umami taste receptor in the taste bud cells of chickens. These results provide the idea that umami taste plays an important role in palatability of feed in chickens.</p>
