Abstract excerpt
The effects of heat stress (HS) on total plasma protein (PP) concentrations, body weight gains (BWG), and body temperature (BT) were studied in an Athens-Canadian Randombred (ACRB) population and commercial broilers (BR). The populations were maintained at environmental temperatures of 21, 32, and 38 C from 3 to 6 wk of age. The PP, BWG, and mortality (M) were measured at 3, 4, 5, and 6 wk and BT at 6 wk. After 2...
