Glucose Supplementation Improves Performance and Alters Glucose Transporters’ Expression in <i>Pectoralis major</i> of Heat-Stressed Chickens

Glucose level in birds’ tissue decreases due to heat stress (HS)-induced reduction in feed intake (FI); impairing metabolism and growth. The effect of glucose supplementation on the performance of broiler chickens was evaluated under thermoneutral (TN) and HS conditions. Glucose was supplemented at...
