Effect of heat exposure on the thermoregulatory responses of selected naked neck chickens

Effect of heat exposure on the thermoregulatory responses of selected naked neck chickens

The variation in cloacal temperature, body weight loss and expression of the 70 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) in three naked neck broiler genotypes during heat stress were studied. Twelve birds of each genotype (Na/Na, Na/na and na/na) were reared to market weight (approximately 2.1kg) at thermoneu...
