High ambient humidity aggravates ammonia-induced respiratory mucosal inflammation by eliciting Th1/Th2 imbalance and NF-κB pathway activation in laying hens

High ambient humidity aggravates ammonia-induced respiratory mucosal inflammation by eliciting Th1/Th2 imbalance and NF-κB pathway activation in laying hens

ABSTRACT: Ammonia (NH3) is an irritant and harmful gas. Its accumulation in the poultry house poses detrimental effects on the respiratory mucosal system of birds. In this process, the relative humidity of the poultry house also plays an important role in potentiating the adverse effects of NH3 on t...
