AB  - This study aimed to investigate the effects of in ovo feeding (IOF) of L-arginine 
      (Arg) on energy metabolism in post-hatch broilers. A total of 720 eggs was 
      randomly assigned to 3 treatments: 1) non-injected control group, 2) 0.75% NaCl 
      diluent-injected control group, and 3) 1.0% Arg solution-injected group. At 17.5 
      d of incubation, 0.6 mL of each solution was injected into the amniotic fluid of 
      each egg of injected groups. After hatching, 80 male chicks were randomly 
      assigned to each treatment group with 8 replicates per group. The results showed 
      that IOF of Arg increased glycogen and glucose concentrations in the liver and 
      pectoral muscle of broilers at hatch (P < 0.05). The plasma glucose and insulin 
      levels were higher in the Arg group than in the non-injected and diluent-injected 
      control groups (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, IOF of Arg enhanced the hepatic 
      glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P) activity at hatch (P < 0.05). There was no difference 
      in hexokinase (HK) or phosphofructokinase (PFK) enzyme activities in the pectoral 
      muscle in all groups. Further, IOF of Arg increased the phosphoenolpyruvate 
      carboxykinase (PEPCK) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP) mRNA expressions at 
      hatch (P < 0.05). In addition, broilers in the Arg group had a higher mRNA 
      expression of glycogen synthase and a lower expression of glycogen phosphorylase 
      in the liver and pectoral muscles than in the non-injected controls at hatch (P 
      < 0.05). In conclusion, IOF of Arg solution enhanced liver and pectoral muscle 
      energy reserves at hatch, which might be considered as an effective strategy for 
      regulating early energy metabolism in broilers.
