Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Broiler Chickens with Different Growth Potential and Submitted to Heat Stress

ABSTRACT - The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance, carcass yield and intestinal morphometry of broiler chickens raised under different temperatures

The summer diet, which contained more oil and less protein, did not influence performance, diet digestibility, or carcass and part yields of birds submitted to cyclic heat stress

One experiment was carried out in order to compare the effects of three synthetic methionine sources (L- Met, DLM, or HMB) and two supplementation levels of sulphur amino acids

When submitted to HS, broiler receiving 2% glycerin presented higher weight gain (WG), water consumption (WC), feed intake (FI) and energy consumption (EI) than those in the

Broilers fed with high energy ration showed lower feed intake and better feed conversion and decreased carcass protein; however, abdominal fat pad, and total carcass fat were

Thus, the fuzzy system can be used to predict the performance of broiler chickens under different intensities and durations of heat stress during the second week of

Given the above, this review aimed to identify the importance of supplementing vitamin E in feed to broilers reared under heat stress, in relation to metabolism, growth

Effects of electrolyte balance and dietary protein levels on production performance and carcass parameters in broiler chickens exposed to heat stress. Statistical
