Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to investigate genetic markers and candidate genes associated with thermotolerance in a layer-type strain Taiwan indigenous chickens exposed to acute heat stress. One hundred and ninety-two 30-week-old roosters were subjected to acute heat stress. Changes in body temperature (BT, ΔT) were calculated by measuring the difference between the initial BT and the highest BT during heat stress and the...
