Abstract excerpt
The thermal stress caused by global climate change adversely affects the welfare, productivity, and reproductive performance of farm animals, including chickens, and causes substantial economic losses. However, the understanding of the genetic basis of the indigenous chicken adaptation to high ambient temperatures is limited. Hence, to reveal the genetic basis of thermal stress adaptation in chickens, this study...
