Due to high environmental temperatures and climate change, heat stress is a severe
concern for poultry health and production, increasing the propensity for food insecurity. With …

Heat stress has a serious impact on nutrient digestion and absorption in broiler chickens.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic heat stress (CHS) on the mRNA …

Thermal manipulation during embryogenesis has been demonstrated to enhance the
thermotolerance capacity of broilers through epigenetic modifications. Heat shock proteins …

Abstract Short Periods of Incubation During Egg Storage (SPIDES) approach improves chick
quality and hatching rates. Also, embryonic thermal conditioning (TC) is a strategy for …

Broiler chickens have been genetically selected for higher feed efficiency, faster growth and
greater muscle yields to fulfil the global meat demand. These fast-growing broiler chickens …

Ambient temperature-associated stress has been shown to affect the normal physiological
functions of birds. The recent literature indicated that both, embryonic thermal manipulation …

Effects of embryonic thermal manipulation (TM) on mRNA expressional levels and total
antioxidant capacity of genes associated with heat-induced oxidative stress (NOX4, GpX2 …

Higher or lower incubation temperature may impose some degree of stress on developing
poultry embryos. This study was designed to delineate the effects of prenatal thermal stress …

Simple Summary Heat stress affects animal husbandry by impeding the health and
production of livestock and leads to commercial losses during the hot summer season. The …

In response to heat stress, interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression is upregulated in broiler chickens.
The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the cumulative effects of thermal …
