Acute heat stress induces oxidative stress in broiler chickens.

Hai Lin, +2 more
- 01 May 2006 - 
TL;DR: The results showed that oxidative stress could be induced in 5-week old broiler chickens by acute heat exposure and suggest that the elevated body temperature can induce the metabolic changes that are involved in the induction of oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strategies for preventing heat stress in poultry

Hai Lin, +3 more
- 01 Mar 2006 - 
TL;DR: To enhance the birds' thermotolerance by early heat conditioning or feed restriction seems to be one of the most promising management methods in enhancing the heat resistance of broiler chickens in the short run.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of egg storage time on spread of hatch, chick quality, and chick juvenile growth.

Kokou Tona, +7 more
- 01 May 2003 - 
TL;DR: It was concluded that day-old chick quality may be a relatively good indicator of broiler performance and in order to improve performance prediction power of chick quality, it would be better to define it as a combination of several qualitative aspects of the day- old chick and the juvenile growth to 7 d.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress induced by corticosterone administration in broiler chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) 1. Chronic exposure.

Hai Lin, +2 more
- 01 Dec 2004 - 
TL;DR: Broiler chickens seem to adapt to high circulating CORT levels in terms of their redox homeostasis after 3 days of treatment under the present experimental conditions, which indicates an enhancement of the nonenzymatic antioxidant capacity during stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Age of Broiler Breeders and Egg Storage on Egg Quality, Hatchability, Chick Quality, Chick Weight, and Chick Posthatch Growth to Forty-Two Days

Kokou Tona, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2004 - 
TL;DR: It was concluded that growth potential of chicks 1 d posthatch is partlylinked to the incubating egg quality and other characteristics that can be linked to the physiological stage of breeders (e.g., age).
