Overview

Observational analysis shows reduced post-hatch growth in modern broiler chickens, indicating heat stress impacts both morphometrics and allometry.

Key Points

  • Heat stress leads to reduced post-hatch growth in chickens, affecting their development.
  • Broiler chickens showed more significant growth impairment due to heat stress compared to heritage breeds.
  • This study utilizes modern broiler (Ross 708) chickens, highlighting their vulnerability to environmental stress.
  • These findings suggest the need for improved management strategies for poultry to mitigate heat stress effects.
