Heat Shock Proteins as Modifying Factors in Physiological Stress Responses in Poultry
Published 2011“…To elicit heat stress from day 35 to 42, all chicks were exposed to 37±1°C for 3 h daily. The results suggest that subjecting chicks to FR60, as measured by HLR, FCR and weight gain, can enhance their ability to withstand, high ambient temperature and Hsp70 induction did not appear to play a profound role in the acquisition of thermotolerance. …”

Amino acids fortification of low-protein diet for broilers under tropical climate: ideal essential amino acids profile
Published 2014“…Moreover, relative heart weights increased (P<0.05) but no changes occurred in liver and abdominal fat weights in chicks with 16.2% DPL. In summary, CP of broilers starter (1-21 days) diet can be reduced till 19.2% with essential AA fortification and without any adverse effect on growth performance under the hot, humid tropics.…”

Effects of rough handling on short chain fatty acid production and gastrointestinal pH in broilers and modulatory role of Lactobacilli
Published 2011“…The influence of stress due to rough handling (RH) on gastrointestinal tract (GIT) environmental pH, concentration of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and modulatory roles of two Lactobacillus strains was investigated in broiler chickens. Equal number of chicks was randomly assigned to one of the following treatment groups; (i): no handling + basal diet (control), (ii): RH and + basal diet (RH-BD), (iii): RH + basal diet supplemented with 107 CFU of each Lactobacillus strain per gram of feed (RH-BDL). …”
